Food and Cities

Food & Cities explores the systemic relations of food systems and urban development and how these relationships influence the transformation towards sustainable societies. This 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.  

Food and Cities

Sustainable production and consumption of milk

Milk production forms an important hub in Swedish food production and milk companies are of great importance to a vibrant countryside. Here are current research on milk.

Food Waste

Food waste is food that is thrown away, even though it could have been consumed if handled differently. Read more about the SLU projects on this and get in touch with a researcher.

Local Food

With local food from smaller producers, we can contribute to the shaping of a more cohesive and resilient local food system.

Drinking water and health

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