Applying circular economy principles to agriculture is a systematic approach to reduce the environmental and climate impact of agriculture while increasing efficiency, production and profitability. The road to circular agriculture requires that we 1) minimize external inputs, 2) reduce losses and waste, 3) re-use residual streams and 4) increase recycling of plant nutrients. To do this requires solutions to many challenges, but first it is necessary to get a clear picture of the current state of knowledge and then to prioritize the most relevant issues.RISE has long experience of R&D in agricultural production, reducing environmental and climate impact, recirculating nutrients from cities back to agriculture, reducing food waste along the entire production chain, creating new waste value chains, farm-level energy production and more. Our goal is, with the guidance of a reference group of key actors in agriculture, to develop a roadmap for taking Swedish agriculture into circularity.
Arbete mot cirkulära system för jordbruk och växtnäring anses som ett systematiskt sätt att minska jordbrukets miljö- och klimatpåverkan samtidigt som man ökar effektivitet och lönsamhet. Vägen till ett cirkulärt jordbruk kräver att vi 1) minimerar externa insatsvaror, 2) minskar förluster och svinn, 3) återanvänder restströmmar samt 4) ökar cirkuleringen av växtnäringsämnen. Detta i sin tur kräver lösningar på många utmaningar, men först är det viktigt att få en klar bild av nuvarande kunskapsläge för att sedan prioritera de mest relevanta frågeställningar. RISE har lång erfarenhet av FoU inom effektivisering av jordbruksproduktion, minskning av miljö- och klimatpåverkan, ökning av kretsloppet mellan stad och land, minskning av matsvinn längs hela produktionskedjan, användning av restströmmar från jordbruk, produktion av energi på gården m.m. Vårt mål är, med vägledning från en referensgrupp av nyckelaktörer, att ta fram en färdplan för att ta svenskt jordbruk in i cirkuläritet.

Brachyspira pilosicoli causes spirochetal diarrhea resulting in reduced growth and great economic losses in pig herds. The disease is treated with antibiotics but today we see an increased incidence of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria, which may lead to difficulties to treat the disease in the …

Slippery floors results in falls and injuries which can be fatal. Moreover, on dairy farms slippery floors impede oestrus behaviour and ease of heat detection and as result cause economical losses due to impaired fertility. Grooving is the most common way to treat concrete floors to reduce …
