- The 260 million publicly funded school meals served annually in Sweden generate 21.000 tons of food waste. At national level, school meals should meet the goal of food waste reduction, together with various other goals such as meeting nutritional requirements, being environmentally friendly and, most importantly, achieving high acceptance among schoolchildren. There is a preconception among kitchen staff that the most popular school meals drive food waste in Swedish school catering and that vegetarian dishes increase food waste, despite being less popular than meat options. By applying mixed methods, this study investigated possible goal conflicts between reduced food waste, high acceptance, and vegetarian options on the lunch menu. An overall aim was to gain knowledge on how lunch menus could be adapted for increased sustainability. Kitchen staff from 10 Swedish primary and secondary schools were interviewed to identify the most popular and unpopular meals, and food waste quantification data and lunch menus from 61 school canteens were analyzed. The results showed that, while the common perception of popular and vegetarian meals creating most waste was held by kitchen staff, it proved to be untrue. In fact, popular school meals and vegetarian options generated less waste than unpopular meals. A vegetarian paradox was detected in interviews, with vegetarian options considered unpopular but with several vegetarian options among the most popular dishes. Thus, school-catering units should stop serving unpopular meals and shift their focus to serving popular nutritious meals, including popular plant-based options, as part of efforts to make school meal schemes more sustainable.

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitics captures the way a decentralized form of governing measures and mobilizes life itself through a number of technologies, such as demographics, surveillance and health initiatives, with the aim to prolong and enhance the lives of a population. According to Foucault, this biopolitical form of governing characteristic of modernity implies a detached and technical stance towards individual lives. In short, biopolitics turns individual lives into life as a mass noun. Interestingly, when human life is treated as a resource, human’s self-proclaimed position as the crown of creation is unsettled and humans find themselves part of the same biopolitical nexus as many other animals. The technologies and consequences of the biopolitization of humans and other animals is the subject of the volume Humans, Animals and Biopolitics, edited by Kristin Asdal, Tone Druglitrö and Steve Hinchliffe. It is a book that should be required reading for Foucauldian theorists and human-animal studies scholars alike.

Sharing the condition of abandonment : The beastly topology of condolence cards for bereaved pet owners

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter focuses on spatiality in representations of the loss of and grief for companion animals. Giorgio Agamben’s theorization of the distinction between political and bare life is used to analyse around 350 condolence cards for bereaved pet owners. It is shown that the visual emplacement of pets in different contexts in the collection of cards underlines that pets are worth grieving, while at the same time a distance is maintained between humans and other animals. In spite of this distancing, it is argued that the cards have the potential to challenge the normative boundary between grievable and ungrievable life.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter asks whether there will be positive or negative impacts on smallholder farmers and rural households as more agricultural land is used for biofuels production. The study uses a computable general equilibrium model to assess the distributive effects and food security implications of biofuels production in Ethiopia. We model the production of jatropha, castor bean, palm oil, and sugarcane as biofuel feedstock crops, with and without the effect of technology spillovers into food cereal crops. We find that the technology spillover effects of certain feedstock crops can increase the production of food cereals (with the effect varying across agro-ecological zones) without increasing cereal prices. In particular, when we model the production of sugarcane as a feedstock, and when we model jatropha and castor bean scenarios with spillover effects, production activities are projected to increase overall agriculture production and food security. When spillover effects are considered, biofuel investment tends to improve the welfare of most rural poor households. Urban households benefit from returns to labor under some scenarios. Thus, for both rural and urban households, biofuels expansion can improve household welfare under some scenarios. These findings assume that continued government investment in roads allows biofuels production to expand on land that is currently unutilized, so that smallholders do not lose land. © 2018 Environment for Development (EfD) Initiative.

Kommunjägare är medlare mellan människor och vilda djur
- 2023
-

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Visste du att jägare är ute på jakt mitt i stan medan du sover? Kommunjägare skjuter regelbundet djur i tätbebyggda områden, vanligtvis kråkfåglar, duvor, gäss och kaniner, för att minska nedskräpning och störande ljud, stoppa spridningen av parasiter och sjukdomar, och förhindra viltolyckor och skador på egendom. Kommunjägare kan också avliva skadade djur och ”problemdjur” – älgar som förirrat sig ut på motorvägar eller in på skolgårdar, eller rådjur som förstör växter i botaniska trädgårdar.

Sustainability assessment of surplus food donation: A transfer system generating environmental, economic, and social values
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Retailers' food waste, often consisting of edible food, could be reduced, while simultaneously tackling food insecurity, through surplus food donations to vulnerable groups. However, sustainability assessments of food donations covering all three sustainability perspectives are scarce, hampering decision-makers in prioritizing donation as a food waste management measure. This Swedish case study assessed the environmental, economic, and social aspects of surplus food donation and examined trade-offs between the different sustainability perspectives. Methods included life cycle assessment, net economic benefit calculation, social life cycle assessment based on food security questionnaires, and nutritional assessments. The results showed that food donation was a way to reduce food waste benefitting the environment and adding economic and social value, to vulnerable people in particular. Despite substantial rebound effects offsetting some potential environmental savings, food bag donations outcompeted anaerobic digestion as a food waste management option in terms of environmental mitigation effect. Regarding trade-offs, accrued savings causing the rebound effects generated important social value for the donation recipients, by relieving their personal finances. Private and public investment was required to fund the donation units, but positive economic value was generated through valorization of surplus food. Food bag donations also showed potential to alleviate recipients' food insecurity and to contribute positively to recipients' nutrition intake. To realize the potential of surplus food donation, policy measures should be better aligned with the waste hierarchy. Despite some trade-offs and inability to solve the underlying problems of food insecurity, food donations have great short-term potential to contribute to a more sustainable society.
