Harvesting Swedish sweet potatoes in search of the varieties of the future
In long rows lie root vegetables in a remarkably wide range of colours and shapes: purple, red, orange, yellow, and white. Plump, thin, long, smooth, and crooked. The trial cultivation of new sweet potato varieties adapted to the Swedish climate is now being harvested. -
Consumers are positive about new varieties of crops
Most Swedish consumers view new crops developed through crossbreeding positively, according to a new survey conducted by researchers at SLU. The findings run counter to the perception that consumers are sceptical about plant breeding. -
New plant-based method for cheese-making enzyme
A research team from SLU, Linnaeus University and Örebro University has successfully produced a traditional cheese-making enzyme in plants. The results open new possibilities for sustainable dairy production. -
Innovation across borders for sustainable food systems
On 25 August, a Japanese delegation visited Malmö, joined by companies and startups, all looking to spark new collaborations between Sweden and Japan.

Low cost genomic selection
This project focuses on the development of methods for genomic selection in relation to existing commercial plant breeding programs. Particular emphasis is placed on developing models that enable cost-effective implementation of the method within these programs. -
ADVALUE
Advancing Sustainable Agricultural Value Chains through Strengthening Transdisciplinary Skills and Cooperation in East African Doctoral Education (ADVALUE) addresses the need for qualified doctorates and future academic professionals in agricultural sciences. -
inSALSA
Increasing Sustainability of Agribiologicals by Living labs in sub-Saharan Africa (inSALSA) aims to enhance the use of agricultural biologicals as alternatives to hazardous agrochemicals through living labs in Sub-Saharan Africa. -
AgBio4SSA
AgBio4SSA explores agricultural biologicals as alternatives to hazardous agrochemicals through living labs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Division of Plant Breeding
Our division explores crop biodiversity and trait inheritance, aiding the domestication and genetic enhancement of new crops with increased yield, resistance, and produce quality.
Division of Plant Biotechnology
Our division unravels the regulatory networks of storage compounds in plants and then uses this knowledge for creating new crops by means of modern gene-technology methods.
Division of Plant Product Quality
Our division identifies how different crops, cultivars, cultivation methods, and postharvest handling affect and regulate end-product quality—and how this quality can be increased.
SLU Food Lab
The SLU Food Lab is an arena side-by-side with teaching and research, contributing to increased knowledge about the interaction between raw materials, process, and product.
The Plant Protein Factory
At The Plant Protein Factory researchers with different skills are working together to develop the quality proteins of the future - from plant breeding to production and consumption.
