Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several benefits, e.g. improved soil carbon balance and soil fertility, reduced weed abundance and inputs of biologically fixed nitrogen. Selling the biomass for fodder or biogas substrate, in combination with extraction of protein in a biorifenery concept (where the protein can be used both for human food and animal feed), can facilitate innovative uses of ley biomass. To realize such ideas, it is important to investigate drivers and obstacles in farmers’ perspectives. This project will analyze farmers’ experiences and views on possibilities for innovative use of ley biomass, thereby stimulating actions for increased cultivation of ley in arable cropping systems and enhanced overall sustainability.
Lantbruk i slättbygd är ofta specialiserad på växtproduktion, utan egen användning av vallfoder, vilket betyder att växtföljden ofta består av enbart ettåriga grödor (t.ex. höstraps, höstvete, sockerbetor och vårkorn). Samtidigt det välkänt att det finns många nyttor med att inkludera vall i sådana växtföljder, exempelvis förbättrad markkolsbalans och markbördighet, minskad förekomst av ogräs och tillskott av biologiskt fixerat kväve. Avsalu till foder eller biogassubstrat, kombinerat med att man utvinner protein (som kan bli både humanföda och proteinfoder) i så kallade bioraffinaderier, möjliggör innovativ avsättning av vallbiomassa. För att sådana idéer ska bli verklighet är det angeläget att utforska drivkrafter och hinder i lantbrukares perspektiv. Detta projekt ska kartlägga odlarerfarenheter och förutsättningar för innovativ avsättning av vallbiomassa, och därigenom identifiera åtgärder för ökad vallodling på slätten i synergi med klimatnytta och lönsam växtproduktion.

The ability of milk to coagulate is crucial for cheese production. We have previously shown high occurrence of non-coagulating milk from Swedish Red Dairy cattle and identified milk proteins as potential markers for this undesirable trait. In this project we will increase the understanding of the …

A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid …

Introduction of African swine fever to Sweden would be devastating for the national pig industry. Infected wild boar are considered the most likely route of introduction to Swedish domestic pigs and preventive measures are needed. Knowledge of how infection from wild boar to pigs can be prevented, …

Humus is an important indicator of soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a cost-effective measure to reduce the climatic impact of food production systems. The national soil-monitoring program (SMP) show an upward trend in SOC during the past 20 years, mostly attributed to an …

A few years ago, media reported on a 7 year-old girl who was killed during a riding lesson. The accident evokes questions about children, horses and safety. Children are small and horses big, and the horse is a herd and prey animal whose behaviour is partly controlled by instincts. Today, many …
