2. 1. Engagement with Fungi-Based Food : Recovery and Valorization of Resources for Food

   Author : Coralie Hellwig; Kamran Rousta; Marianne Thomsen; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainable lifestyles; fungi; resource recovery; sustainable food; food waste reduction; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : There has been an increasing demand for more sustainable food and ways of encouraging individuals to lead more sustainable lives. This thesis seeks to contribute to understanding human engagement with fungi-based food in a multidisciplinary manner by complementing resource recovery with an occupational perspective that sheds light on aspects that encourage or discourage individuals from engaging with this food.

4. 2. The Story of Phosphorus : Sustainability implications of global phosphorus scarcity for food security

   Author : Dana Cordell; Stuart White; Jan-Olof Drangert; Julie Wilk; Johan Rockström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global phosphorus scarcity; peak phosphorus; global food security; sustainable resource use; food production and consumption system; transdisciplinary; systems thinking; global fosforbrist; peak fosfor; global matsäkerhet; hållbar resursanvändning; system för produktion och konsumtion av mat; transdisciplinaritet; systemtänkande; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

   Abstract : The story of phosphorus began with the search for the philosopher’s stone, and centuries later the critical role of phosphorus in soil fertility and crop growth was highlighted. Eventually, phosphorus was implicated in the global environmental challenge of eutrophication. READ MORE

5. 3. Integrated Agriculture and Aquaculture Systems (IAA) for Enhanced Food Production and Income Diversification in Tanzania

   Author : Deogratias Mulokozi; Håkan Berg; Ian Bryceson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Smallholder farmers; Oreochromis niloticus; Amaranthus hybridus; food production; household income diversification; water use efficiency; farm net income; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Aquaculture production in Tanzania has increased in recent years, responding to an increased demand for fish, partly because of an increasing population and declining catches of wild fish. However, the current aquaculture production is still low, dominated by small scale farming systems, that are struggling with a number of challenges such as lack of improved fish breeds, feeds, technical skills and low adoption rates.

6. 4. Circular bioeconomy through valorisation of agro-industrial residues by the edible filamentous fungus Neurospora intermedia

   Author : Rebecca Gmoser; Mohammad J Taherzadeh; José António Teixeira; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neurospora intermedia; mycoprotein; carotenoids; feed; solid-state fermentation; circular bioeconomy; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Prevention of dramatic climate change and ensuring food and nutrition security for subsequent generations necessitates the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and efficient use of the world’s resources, including efficient waste disposal. The agro-industrial sector generates a large amount of organic waste, that is currently underexploited owing to poor waste management practices. READ MORE

7. 5. Conditions for resource-efficient production of biofuels for transport in Sweden

   Author : Carolina Ersson; Mats Eklund; Jonas Ammenberg; Mikael Lantz; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Transportation has continued to increase worldwide and fossil-fuel dependency is strong which leads to a number of problems, e.g. increased emissions of green-house gases (GHG) and risks related to energy security. Biofuels have until now been one of the few renewable alternatives which have been able to replace fossil fuels on a large scale. READ MORE
