Tora works with topics concerning both horticultural production and agronomy issues, including agrivoltaics. She coordinates two strategic areas within RISE, Multifunctional urban verdure and Carbon sequestration in biogenic materials and processes. She has worked with beneficial insects in agricultural systems, indicator plants, urban community gardens, biochar, permaculture, agroecosystems in a changing climate and has a PhD in the field of improved nitrogen cycling in organic cropping systems. The competence arches over organic fertilisers, botany and improving the conditions for ecosystem services. She has a strong interest in how plants can be used; in innovative cropping systems to promote a varied food consumption, as social bridges connecting people in urban settings, and to reach the national environmental goals.

Agrivoltaics in Skåne

This project will examine technical, economical and legislative challenges and possibilites for combining agriculture and energy production in land-based solar parks in Skåne, so called agrivoltaics systems.

Data Center Greenhouse - Data Collection Plattform

The project intends to utilize an existing greenhouse test bed in Boden, to equip it with the sensors that can support optimal cultivation for efficient crop yields. The greenhouse is heated by excess heat from adjacent data cente…

Planning of solar farms benefiting biodiversity and ecosystem services

The Eco-Sun project has created guidance for development of solar farms with net-zero or -positive impact on biodiversity, farming and other ecosystem services in Sweden and the Nordics.

Many routes to carbon sinks in the City of Malmö

Reducing carbon emissions is important to efforts to stop climate change, but at least as important is identifying and creating carbon sinks. RISE researcher Tora Råberg and her colleagues have helped the City of Malmö identify wh…

Urban Vegetation

The urban land is increasingly being covered with hard materials, creating a plethora of problems such as heat islands, noise and reduced well-being. At RISE, we work in interdisciplinary teams to find green solutions that contrib…

Cultivation tests

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.

Agricultural water management

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 e…

Carbon sequestration

RISE provides expert knowledge on life cykel analysis and calculation of carbon sequestration potential for long-life wooden buildings and biochar. Biochar provides a long-term carbon sink and the material can be used as soil impr…

Biodiversity

Are five ants worth more than four elephants? Many people think biodiversity is important, but how important is it and how should it be measured? At RISE, we work to develop, evaluate and apply different methods to measure biodive…

Technology and methodology in sustainable crop production

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 s…
