   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; household metabolism; private consumption; waste generation; individual household; mobile application; resource use;

   Sammanfattning : The magnitude of the flows of matter and energy resulting from human activities is influenced by human needs and demands as well as the practices and technologies applied to fulfil them. The aim of this study was to explore differences in resource use and waste generation between individual households through the simultaneous quantification of physical flows entering and leaving the households.

4. 3. A land of one's own : Sami resource use in Sweden's boreal landscape under autonomous governance

   Författare :Gudrun Norstedt; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []

   Sammanfattning : The Sami dominated large parts of boreal Sweden well into the 18th century, and knowledge of Sami subsistence patterns is therefore a key to the region’s forest history. Although much research has been done on Sami resource use and landscape impact, the context is often vaguely understood. LÄS MER

5. 4. Engagement with Fungi-Based Food : Recovery and Valorization of Resources for Food

   Författare :Coralie Hellwig; Kamran Rousta; Marianne Thomsen; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainable lifestyles; fungi; resource recovery; sustainable food; food waste reduction; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Sammanfattning : There has been an increasing demand for more sustainable food and ways of encouraging individuals to lead more sustainable lives. This thesis seeks to contribute to understanding human engagement with fungi-based food in a multidisciplinary manner by complementing resource recovery with an occupational perspective that sheds light on aspects that encourage or discourage individuals from engaging with this food.

   Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis is to propose a way to introduce social and cultural aspects of environmental degradation to the sustainable development debate. This is done by a reflexive and critical examination of environmental research as it has been applied to different spatial levels (and thus levels of social complexity). LÄS MER
