Expertise in agriculture

Virtual fences have the potential to facilitate and simplify grazing operations. At RISE, several projects are ongoing where we investigate the conditions for the use of this technology in Sweden, the ability of cattle to learn and understand it, how it can work in practical operations and its impa…

Sometimes it's said that the food we eat consists of oil. In fact, there is a lot of truth in that. It takes quantities of imported oil and compressed natural gas (CNG) to power food production. In addition, large amounts of electricity are consumed. There is currently a lot of work going on to m…

Do you have a residual product from any type of process that you think could be used as a fertiliser or growing medium in food production? RISE offer a test environment where recycled products are evaluated in crop experiments.

Agriculture is an intensive user of water - a finite and vulnerable resource. Through agricultural water management we secure food production even under extreme weather conditions, and at the same time minimize the impact on the environment. The broad relevant expertise at RISE extends from technic…

Increased use of raw materials and residual biomass streams from agriculture can help to limit climate change, but it is important that they are produced and used in a sustainable and profitable way.

A resource efficient management of animal manures and other organic residues creates precious plant nutrients and an environmentally friendly agriculture. RISE develops technology and strategies for manure management with the aim to reduce environmental impact from agriculture.

Food production consumes large amounts of energy. There are incitements both climate and economic, to work for efficient processes that reduce the need for energy.

How do you produce enough food to feed a growing population in a changing world – while making agriculture sustainable from an environmental, soil health, economic and social perspective? At RISE, we work with several aspects of sustainable crop production such as cultivation technology, water mana…

Digitalisation and robotisation have great potential for a more sustainable, profitable and climate-smart agriculture. We have the deep competences in both technology and agriculture that is needed to find solutions that work in practice.

RISE combines high competence within agriculture, fisheries, food and life cycle assessment, to support sustainable development

Efficient harvesting, preservation and storage of biomass to meet the requirements for profitability, quality and low environmental impact.

Profitable livestock production is crucial for a sustainable agriculture in Sweden. Through innovation, research and development, RISE strives to improve animal welfare and health in Swedish milk, egg and meat production, while maintaining or increasing the viability of production.
