Aktuell forskning
In my research today I deal with questions around animal welfare, epizootic- and zoonotic diseases, and food quality- and hygiene. I am working in the field which extends over animal welfare, wildlife and human society, sustainable wildlife use, wildlife health, game's ecosystem services. I have an interdisciplinary idea and an approach to and a perspective of where and when wildlife, environment and human integration (ecosystem services) should be integrated with SLU's interaction with the community, environmental monitoring and assessment as well as in teaching.
