How to pursue sustainable farming

Letting livestock graze just the right amount in an enclosed area of pasture results in the greatest diversity of plant species, but it requires livestock numbers not to be too high.

What does it take for humans and wildlife to coexist?

“Human land use is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity. Often, this land use is so out of dimension and rapid, that many species get lost and don’t have time to adapt to cope with the change” Anna Treydte explains

How to pursue sustainable farming

Meadowland and pasture are sometimes referred to the tropical rainforests of the Nordic region, as they contain such a great abundance of species. Researchers see a decline in biodiversity on farms where livestock receive concentrates instead of free-range grazing. Regina Lindborg carries out research into ways in which farming that preserves biodiversity can be pursued.

What does it take for humans and wildlife to coexist?

The last remaining habitats for wildlife are becoming smaller and more fragmented as human land use is steadily increasing. This affects large mammals such as elephants and lions that require huge habitats to roam in. Anna Treydte’s research focuses on how humans and wildlife can coexist.

Cormorant eggs – an opportunity for contaminant monitoring

The number of great cormorants in Sweden increased greatly under the 1990s and they are now a common species around the Swedish coast and many of the lakes. During the breeding season great cormorants build colonies with a distinctive fishy odor which, along with their voracious appetite for fish, has often made them unpopular. However, great cormorants could give valuable information on environmental contaminants found in aquatic environments according to a new collaborative study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), the Swedish Museum of Natural History (NRM) and Stockholm University.

Många samhällsutmaningar, som klimatfrågan, är så komplexa att de inte går att lösa på egen hand. Partnerskap och samarbete är nödvändigt för att nå de globala målen – och här spelar akademin en viktig roll. Det menar representanter från Karolinska Institutet, KTH och Stockholms universitet som i ett seminarium berättar hur de mobiliserar för att förbättra människans och planetens hälsa.
