Lisa Blix Germundsson
Lisa Blix Germundsson is a researcher and project manager with a focus on knowledge development and innovation in agriculture and horticulture. The research covers how different actors work together to develop new knowledge and innovation for a sustainable development.

Presentation

My doctoral thesis  investigated how the knowledge and innovation system within Swedish horticulture can be developed to meet current and future challenges. Part of the doctoral studies were conducted within the NextFood project.

Examples of current projects:

COREnet, on knowledge, advisory services and innovation for firms related to short food supply chains.

"The bean to the plate", on domestic-grown legumes for food.

Innovation for a circular bioeconomy within horticulture, the innovation track , with LRF Horticulture.

Method development for better legislation, on reducing bureaucracy and regulatory rep tape for rural entrepreneurs.

Teaching

I mainly teach and supervise the course for students' exam theses on the agronomy bachelor's program (Lantmästare) (EX0883).

I also contribute to the courses Socially Sustainable Leadership and Advisory Services (FÖ0489), Project management for innovation in sustainable food systems (LV0102), and Product Development and Innovation Systems in Horticulture (FÖ0435).

Cooperation

In addition to my research and teaching on collaboration for knowledge development and innovation, I am connected to SLU's Unit for Collaboration and Development, as well as to SLU RådNu, competence center for advisory services. 

Supervision

I regularly supervise students' exam theses.

Students who are interested in writing a thesis within collaboration, knowledge development and innovation, are welcome to contact me.
