Agricultural and Food Economics
Our research engages in interdisciplinary approaches to encompass the complexity and combine theoretical insights from the agricultural and food economics discipline with insights from other sciences, in particular the natural and behavioural sciences.
Applied Analysis
We work with applied analysis of food, agriculture, fishing and rural development. The group works closely with Lund University and together they form the research centre AgriFood Economics Centre.
Decision-making and Managerial Behaviour
Every day, many decisions are made which affect the development of the agricultural sector and the rest of society. We are interested in how these decisions are made and what consequences they may have.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Sustainability
The research group's overall goal is to develop an understanding of the interaction between entrepreneurial activities and the contexts in which they take place.
Environmental Economics
Our main areas of research are policy design and evaluation, behavioral economics, transportation economics, trade and development economics, always in connection with environmental issues.
SLU Future Food
SLU Future Food is a platform that stimulates and develops cross-disciplinary research and collaboration for economically, ecologically and socially sustainable food systems.
