While the equine sector in Sweden and Norway provides leisure activities, entertainment and employment for many people of all ages, these come with associated negative effects. Studies of the environmental impacts caused by the sector show that nutrient leakage from manure piles, paddocks and pastures is a problem, alongside issues of feed and transport. Agents within the sector have been cast as potential threats to the environment, rather than as carriers of solutions. We want to change this. The ultimate purpose of the project is to spearhead a pro-environmental transformation of the equine sector. In collaboration with riding schools, federations and higher education institutions, this inquiry aims to gain a deep understanding of the decision-making processes and actions taken by individual and collective actors, as these are crucial for a lasting change to occur. This transformation will strengthen the sector's capacity to operate as a positive force for societal change.
Hästsektorn genererar fritidsaktiviteter, underhållning och sysselsättning för många människor i alla åldrar, men
sektorn påverkar även miljön. Studier av den miljöpåverkan som orsakas av hästsektorn visar att näringsläckage från
gödselstackar, paddockar och betesmarker är ett problem; foder och transporter är andra. Kunskap om sektorns
negativa miljöpåverkan finns, men få studier fokuserar på att utvärdera strategier för hur man kan genomföra
förändringar i det dagliga arbetet i stallen. Aktörer inom sektorn har setts som potentiella hot mot miljön - inte som
bärare av lösningar. Vi vill ändra detta. Syftet med projektet är att - i samarbete med ridskolor, förbund och högre
utbildningsinstitutioner - generera en miljöomvandling av sektorn med fokus på beteende och beslutsfattande hos
enskilda och kollektiva aktörer, eftersom dessa aktörer är avgörande för en förändring. En sådan omvandling kommer
att stärka sektorns förmåga att fungera som en positiv förändringskraft i samhället.

For sustainable future development, it is essential to recirculate plant nutrients from different parts of society,
especially sewage plants, back to arable land. The aim of the proposed project is to ensure that high-quality fertiliser
products attractive for agricultural use are produced from …

The sensory attributes of the raw milk are of major importance for the quality of the resulting dairy products. Since the early 90’ies, the so-called “blueberry off-flavour” has caused severe economic consequences for affected dairy farmers. The mechanism behind is still unclear, although forages …

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 …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …
