Food facts

How should we farm in a changing climate? How should animal husbandry work in drought or high temperatures? SLU researchers are developing measures and preparedness for extreme climates.

Food and Cities is a collaboration between SLU Future Food and SLU Urban Futures. The project communicates SLU’s existing research and aims to create new encounters between different disciplines and sectors. The project seeks to identify knowledge gaps and cross-disciplinary research questions and investigates how a long-term thematic focus on food and cities could be established at SLU.  

We consume an average of two liters of drinking water per day. But how healthy is your drinking water? SLU produces knowledge for decision makers and the water industry to support the work with safer drinking water.

The Interdisciplinary Academy (IDA) is a programme at SLU where the university's researchers are offered the opportunity to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries on complex issues in the broad field of sustainable transition.

One of the most important goals for SLU's Future Platforms is to develop interdisciplinary working methods at SLU by initiating and enabling collaboration across scientific disciplinary boundaries.
