Vidareutveckling av värdekedjan i koncepten Rosens Dag och Årets Ros

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 …

The aim of the project is to characterize genomic diversity and inbreeding, within and between Nordic native horse breeds, with special focus on the Norwegian and Swedish breeds. For this we will use whole genome sequencing of individual and pooled DNA samples. Genomic characterization is an …

The overall purpose of the project is to generate a base for recommendations for construction of new subsurface drainage and re-drainage of clay soils in the area Water - resource efficient management. Efficient drainage of arable land is important to increase crop production, to achieve …

For a sustainable food production, the plant nutrients in the food we consume need to be redirected back to agricultural land. Ammonia sanitization is rather new but simple and scalable technology to sanitize waste fractions and have been implemented for decentralized reuse of source separated …

Decreasing population sizes and risk of accumulation of inbreeding is a challenge for the national Norwegian horse breeds; the Dole, the Fjord and the Nordland/Lyngen. The average breed-specific reduction in covered mares is between 37% and 45%, when comparing the years 2000 to 2009 to the years …

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 …
