Major environmental gains when food waste and by-products are utilised
Today’s food waste and by-products should be regarded as valuable resources. When used in new food products and fish feed, their climate impact can be reduced by up to 90 per cent – while significantly easing pressure on land, water and biodiversity. This is shown in a new doctoral thesis from SLU. -

Multi-functional feed ingredients for sustainable fish farming
Either we reduce the inputs, or we develop a feed that provides multiple services. Feed is an important cost. The biggest ecological cost is the input for the fish feed, says Kartik Baruah.
Noble crayfish farming
Save the noble crayfish: Start farming! SLU has published a book "Flodkräfta och flodkräftodling i Sverige – en handbok baserad på erfarenheter" and developed a training guide "Kräftodlingens ABC" (both in Swedish).
