Doctoral Education Meets the AI Revolution: How PhD Candidates Are Affected
How should PhD candidates use AI in their work? Generative AI offers new opportunities for research, yet development is rapid and clear guidelines are lacking. The question is therefore relevant for many doctoral students who want to make use of the technology without compromising research ethics. -
Mushroom waste offers a sustainable path to cleaner water
Materials left over from mushroom cultivation could provide an environmentally friendly solution to cleaner, safer water for agriculture. This is shown in a new pilot study from SLU. -
Prime Minister visits SLU in Alnarp – focus on research for future food security
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson visited SLU Alnarp on October 8 to learn more about research that strengthens Sweden’s preparedness and contributes to a sustainable food system. During the visit, he saw how SLU is developing robust and resilient crops for future food production. -
Building food sovereignty: the future of plant breeding in a shifting development funding landscape
Mutual learning, plant breeding, local priorities, food sovereignty, nutrition, health, and the challenge of upscaling research results for progress in agricultural development was discussed at a symposium at SLU in Uppsala and online, that gathered participants worldwide.

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.
Genomics and Phenomics of Plant Diversity
We study plant genetic resources from wild relatives to modern varieties and how important traits can be passed on and kept stable through generations.
Plant Biotechnology and Functional Genomics
We unravel the regulatory networks of storage compounds in plants and then uses this knowledge for creating new crops by means of modern gene-technology methods.
Plant Product Quality Improvement
We identify how different crops, cultivars, cultivation methods, and postharvest handling affect and regulate end-product quality—and how this quality can be increased.
Applied Genetics and Crop Genetic Improvement
We develop and use knowledge in genetics, molecular biology, and plant physiology to create new and improved cultivars for both agricultural and horticultural crops.
Plants and the Environment
Our research explores both short-term responses and long-term adaptation strategies in annual and perennial crop species.
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.
