Dairy cows are an important part of a sustainable and resilient food production as they facilitate circular flows on the farm and contribute to carbon sequestration, open landscapes and biodiversity. To achieve a sustainable dairy production in all parts of Sweden, we need large as well as small dairy herds. However, there is a lack of knowledge and adapted advisory services towards small dairy producers, whom often have a diverse production with on-farm refinements. For them to be a part of a sustainable food production, they need to be climate adapted and sustainable, with high biosecurity and good animal health, and we don't know if that is the case today. Thus, we will map sustainability and resilience in small dairy cattle herds with focus on biosecurity, working conditions, animal welfare, climate adaption and environmental impact. The results will high-light opportunities, obstacles and challenges for these farmers, and lead to increased knowledge and improved advisory services.
Mjölkkor är en viktig del i en hållbar och robust livsmedelsproduktion då de möjliggör cirkulära kretslopp på gården samt bidrar till kolinlagring, öppna landskap och biologisk mångfald. För en hållbar mjölkproduktion i hela landet behövs både stora och små mjölkgårdar. Det saknas dock kunskap och anpassad rådgivning riktad mot mindre producenter, som ofta har möjlighet att ha fler produktionsgrenar, nischad produktion och förädling av råvara på gården. För att dessa mindre gårdar ska bidra till en hållbar och robust svensk livsmedelsförsörjning krävs att de har en hållbar och klimatanpassad produktion med gott smittskydd och god djurhälsa, och vi vet inte om så är fallet i dag. Därför vill vi kartlägga hållbarhet och robusthet i mindre mjölkkobesättningar, med fokus på smittskydd, arbetsmiljö, djurvälfärd, klimatanpassning och miljöpåverkan. Resultaten kommer belysa möjligheter, hinder och utmaningar för denna typ av besättningar och leda till ökad kunskap och förbättrad rådgivning.

Even if Sweden is historically regarded as a water-affluent country, lately sustainable water use and water circularity have become topics of high concern. Irrigation is dependent on high quality water resources, and the need for accessible water resources becomes stronger under exceptionally dry …

An improved strategy for agricultural drainage is important for both economic and environmental reasons. There are indications on environmental benefits of a good drainage but lack of studies that directly shows this. The aim of the project is to develop a basis for design recommendations for new …

Swedish biogas production is crucial to reach environmental and climate targets and manure represents a great potential, corresponding to ca 2,7 Twh. However, the production from manure-based facilities currently only reaches around ca 64 GWh. Due to the character of manure it is difficult to reach …

Poultry manure is commonly used as fertilizer for crop production, however, high nutrient contents and unbalanced nutrient ratios limit application rates and require larger land areas for spreading, driving up manure handling costs. Techniques for incineration and pyrolysis of biomass are …

The use of fungicides in potatoes is in many cases unnecessarily large in relation to the risk of infestation of late
blight and tuber blight. With increased and better knowledge of potato late blight and tuber blight, the average control
intensity can probably be reduced by 25–50%. With the …

Cultivation of legumes will increase due to several factors. Among these are extraction of plant-based proteins for human consumption, a demand for increased self-sufficiency of vegetable proteins within the country, reduced costs for fertilisers by N-fixation in the legumes, and use of legumes as …
