Perennial crops have the potential to reduce the need for ploughing and pesticides, which in turn can lead to reduced soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, a unique research infrastructure that has the potential to transform agriculture was inaugurated by the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science and LUCSUS, in collaboration with SLU Alnarp. The new facility, fu

Eating cheese and cream with a high fat content may be linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. This is shown by a new large-scale study from Lund University. The researchers analysed the dietary habits of more than 27,000 people and linked these to the occurrence of dementia over a follow-up period of up to 25 years. The debate about low-fat diets has long shaped our health advice and influ

Genom att fånga upp en svag signal från yttre rymden har ett forskarlag kunnat studera atmosfären hos en exoplanet 300 ljusår från jorden. Studien visar att himlakroppens gashölje innehåller en specifik isotop av kol, vilket tyder på att den bildats långt från sin värdstjärna.
