Applied Analysis
We work with applied analysis of food, agriculture, fishing and rural development. The group works closely with Lund University and together they form the research centre AgriFood Economics Centre.
Agricultural and Food Economics
Our research engages in interdisciplinary approaches to encompass the complexity and combine theoretical insights from the agricultural and food economics discipline with insights from other sciences, in particular the natural and behavioural sciences.
Decision-making and Managerial Behaviour
Every day, many decisions are made which affect the development of the agricultural sector and the rest of society. We are interested in how these decisions are made and what consequences they may have.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Sustainability
The research group's overall goal is to develop an understanding of the interaction between entrepreneurial activities and the contexts in which they take place.
Environmental Economics
Our main areas of research are policy design and evaluation, behavioral economics, transportation economics, trade and development economics, always in connection with environmental issues.
Our research projects
-
Aligning GHG emission reduction with economic resilience – the case of Science-Based Targets in the dairy sector
This project investigates opportunities to support management of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction in the dairy sector in ways that take into account economic considerations of farmers in decision-support tools and management controls. -
EPIC - Economic policy instrument to reduce green house gas emmisions from the Swedish food sector
The main objective of this project is to analyze what policy mix could be used to decrease greenhouse gas emissions from the Swedish food sector. -
Enabling management control under farm-level carbon targets: action research and advisors’ role (StyrKA)
Swedish farmers face increasing societal expectations to contribute to climate change mitigation and need to find economically viable ways to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
