This project is combining expertise from diverse disciplines to evaluate interventions for a more sustainable Swedish food system.

Natural resources are the building blocks of any eco system. Understanding where these resources are, how they flow on our landscapes, and why we see these use patterns are key questions to inform more sustainable management.

This project aims to improve access to water and sanitation for all by working in close cooperation with inhabitants of informal settlements to implement innovative grey-water reticulation and treatment systems.

This project focuses on the capacity of recycling organic waste to close yield gaps and meet sustainable development goals.

In this project we are looking into how consumers contribute to and are affected by nutrients management.

This project aims to quantify Sweden’s potential to recycle nutrients in manure back into food production and look at the logistical implications of recycling from a cost and transport perspective at both the national and regional scale.

Researchers at LiU have shown that coordinated management of excrement from animals and humans could save nearly EUR 100 million each year. The key is to produce the biogas from the excrement before it is used as fertiliser.

From farm to fork and back again – that’s how nutrients should travel in a cycle. Professor Uno Wennergren carries out research into how we can use fertiliser better in order to prevent both hunger and problems with eutrophication.
