Ongoing projects:

StripES: Strip cropping for harnessing ecosystem services - a farm-scale system design. (Sole PI). Funded by Formas (2025-2028)

Integrated pest and pollinator management for sustainable plant protein production. Led by Ola Lundin and in collaboration with: Maj Rundlöf, Åsa Grimberg and Mattias Larsson. Funded by Formas (2023-2025).

Multifunctional strip cropping using legumes for ecological weed control. (Co-PI) led by Mattias Larsson and in collaboration with Raj Chongtham. Funded by Ekhaga stiftelsen (2025).

Integrating community population dynamics and tritrophic interactions for sustainable pest control: oilseed rape as a model system. Led by Peter Anderson and in collaboration with: Mattias Larsson, Ola Lundin, and the Plant Protection centre of the Swedish Board of Agriculture. Funded by Formas (2022-2024)
