   Sammanfattning : How should we understand the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and sustainability? Generally, it is assumed that while ICT products contribute to many environmental and social problems as they are produced and disposed of, the potential of using ICT to achieve a more sustainable society is immense. However, despite the fact that such a discourse is favored not only in the industrial but also in the political and academic spheres, we have yet to see this presumed sustainability-related potential of ICT fully exploited.

4. 3. Sustainable agriculture : From global challenges to local land management

   Författare :John Livsey; Stefano Manzoni; Steve Lyon; Esteban Jobbágy; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agriculture; irrigation; nutrients; soil properties; water management; fertilisation; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : Despite the success of agriculture management practices in increasing the availability of food needed to meet the requirements of the expanding global population, there are increasing demands placed on the resources on which the sector depends. Opportunities for the development of agricultural systems are constrained by increasing competition, from other sectors, for shared resources. LÄS MER

5. 4. Sustainable Interactions : Studies in the Design of Energy Awareness Artefacts

   Författare :Loove Broms; Magnus Bång; Henrik Eriksson; Daniel Fällman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interaction design; energy awareness; sustainability; domestication; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a collection of experimental designs that approach the problem of growing electricity consumption in homes. From the perspective of design, the intention has been to critically explore the design space of energy awareness artefacts to reinstate awareness of energy use in everyday practice. LÄS MER

7. 5. Practice makes perfect? : Sustainable practices with ICT and daily travel
