This interdisciplinary project examines how Swedish dairy farmers, given different types of policy instruments, are affected by the ongoing structural transformation in the primary production. The study will improve our understanding about how the ongoing structural change affects profitability in smaller and larger dairy herds, how it affects biodiversity, landscape features and emissions, and how farm profitability is affected by different types of policies. These aspects are crucial for the Swedish model with added value linked to the environment and to animal welfare. In the project we address the following research questions: 1) What explains differences in profitability between dairy farmers? 2) How does the structural change affect a) profitability in smaller and larger dairy farms, b) biodiversity and landscape features in different regions, and c) emissions of greenhouse gases and nutrients? 3) How is Swedish milk production affected by different types of policy instruments?
Detta tvärvetenskapliga projekt undersöker hur svenska mjölkbesättningar påverkas av den pågående strukturomvandlingen i primärproduktionen givet olika typer av stöd. Vårt mål är att fördjupa kunskapen om hur den pågående strukturomvandlingen påverkar lönsamhet i mindre och större mjölkbesättningar, öka kunskapen om hur omvandlingen påverkar biologisk mångfald, landskapsbild och utsläpp samt hur lönsamheten påverkas av olika typer av stöd. Dessa aspekter är centrala för att långsiktigt kunna driva den svenska modellen med mervärden kopplade till miljön och djurvälfärd. I projektet adresserar vi följande forskningsfrågor:
1) Vad förklarar skillnaderna i lönsamhet mellan mjölkbesättningar?
2) Hur påverkar strukturomvandlingen inom svensk mjölkproduktion a) lönsamhet i mindre och större mjölkbesättningar, b) den biologiska mångfalden och landskapsbilden i olika regioner, samt c) utsläppen av växthusgaser och näringsämnen?
3) Hur påverkas svensk mjölkproduktion av olika typer av stöd?

It is generally accepted that muscle enzyme activity (CK and AST) levels in plasma may increase in Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds after exercise and racing, indicating muscle damage. However, in one recent study on healthy Standardbred trotters fed a forage only diet muscle enzyme activity levels …

Oilseed rape (OSR) is a profitable and important crop in Swedish agriculture, especially winter OSR which is cultivated on approximately 100000 ha each year. Cultivation of OSR relies on large inputs of fertilizers and pesticides, which has economic costs as well as negative environmental impacts. …
