2. 6. Greenhouse gas emissions from Swedish milk production : towards climate-smart milk production

   Author : Maria Henriksson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food production represent 19-29% of global anthropogenic GHG and the dairy sector alone is estimated to contribute around 3%. This thesis assessed GHG estimates for milk production (i.e. milk carbon footprint (CF)) in a life cycle perspective. READ MORE

4. 7. Electric autonomous tractors in Swedish agriculture : A systems analysis of economic, environmental and performance effects

   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Use of battery-electric vehicles has become common in different sectors, as a measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Driveline electrification in agricultural machinery could reduce emissions and increase driveline efficiency, but implementation has been hindered by the low energy-carrying capacity of batteries compared with conventional fuels.

   Abstract : Organic soils account for 9% or ~225,000 ha of Sweden’s 2.5 million ha of agricultural land, with around half being intensively cultivated. READ MORE

6. 9. Inertia and practice change related to greenhouse gas reduction : Essays on institutional entrepreneurship and translation in Swedish agri-food

   Author : Herman Stål; Karl Johan Bonnedahl; Jessica Eriksson; Peter Dobers; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Inertia; climate change; sustainability; agriculture; institutional entrepreneurship; institutional logics; convergent change; divergent change; practice; translation; Tröghet; klimatförändring; hållbarhet; jordbruk; institutionellt entreprenörskap; institutionella logiker; konvergent förändring; divergent förändring; praktik; översättning; företagsekonomi; Business Studies;

   Abstract : To avoid dangerous climate change a massive reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is required in a relative short time span. However, as development is moving in the wrong direction, there appears to be great inertia in changing activities. READ MORE

7. 10. Climate change frames and frame formation : An analysis of climate change communication in the Swedish agricultural sector

   Author : Therese Asplund; Victoria Wibeck; Mattias Hjerpe; Knut H. Sørensen; Linköpings universitet; []

   Abstract : While previous research into understandings of climate change has usually examined general public perceptions and mainstream media representations, this thesis offers an audience-specific departure point by analysing climate change frames and frame formation in Swedish agriculture. The empirical material consists of Swedish farm magazines’ reporting on climate change, as well as eight focus group discussions among Swedish farmers on the topic of climate change and climate change information.
