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.

We work with the vision that it possible to reduce herbicide use and completely abandon glyphosate in reduced and no-till systems by promoting soil health and crop vigour through a diverse crop rotation, cover crops and mechanical weed control. In field experiments, we compare innovative glyphosate …

Adding flowers to the cropping system that support beneficial insects is a promising option to achieve crop protection
in Swedish agriculture and horticulture. However, the wide-spread adoption of this approach has been hampered by
limited economic benefit and the risk of propagating pests and …
