Crop production for sustainable, resilient and circular food systems
The group combines horticultural science and agroecology to understand and develop sustainable and resilient crop production systems. We study biological and ecological processes in both greenhouses and fields, during organic and conventional production, in everything from arable land to urban environments.
The research covers a wide range of crops, such as vegetables, fruits and berries, annual and perennial cereals, legumes and mushroom production. We analyse the entire chain from farm to fork, where harvested products can be food, feed, ornamental plants, green manure or bioenergy.
Our research includes circular solutions for the efficient and responsible use of renewable resources such as growing mediums, plant nutrients and energy. Food safety is central and includes health risks, nutrition and consumer behaviour, where the goal is to strengthen sustainable production and food supply.
The group teaches in several educational programs, including the bachelor's programs for Agricultural Management and for Horticultural Engineer with a focus on cultivation as well as the master's programs for Agroecology, Food and Landscape and Horticultural Science.
Our research areas
- Horticultural production systems
- Agroecology and food systems
- Food safety and quality
- Crops and agricultural systems of arable land
The subject area is also responsible for conducting field trials at the Lönnstorp field research station.
