Worth Knowing: Sustainable food production and food security

Text: "Veterinärmedicin Sverige 1775-2025" och "250 ÅR"

Join us for a lunchtime lecture as Professor Lotta Berg discusses various aspects of sustainability, including consumer welfare, farmer welfare and animal welfare.

The world’s growing human population needs food. But what type of food, and how can we look at sustainability and security – not just from a human perspective, but also from the perspective of livestock, wildlife and our common environment? These questions are discussed by Lotta Berg in this semester’s third Worth Knowing lecture.

Lotta Berg is a Professor at the Department of Applied Animal Science and Welfare and at the Swedish Centre for Animal Welfare (SCAW).

Take part online, live or afterwards

If you are unable to attend, the lecture will be streamed live on SLU Play and on the SLU University Library’s Facebook page. The lecture will also be available to watch afterwards on SLU Play, but it will take a couple of weeks before it is published there.

Please note that the number of seats in the Studio is limited. The seats are distributed on a first come, first serve basis.

Swedish veterinary medicine 250 years

This Worth Knowing lecture is a collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science and part of the celebration of Swedish veterinary medicine’s 250 year anniversary. This anniversary marks a milestone not only for the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science but for the whole of SLU, as the veterinary school is the oldest part of the university as we know it today. Read more about the celebrations using the link below, and e-mail svm250@slu.se if you have questions about the anniversary.

As part of the celebration several of this year’s Worth Knowing lectures will focus on veterinary medicine.

Worth knowing

Worth knowing is the SLU University Library’s popular science lunchtime lecture series. Here, exciting and recent research results from SLU are presented. We offer a light lunch, and after the lecture listeners have the opportunity to ask questions.
