Welcome to a panel discussion that explores the possibilities of phasing out fossil fuels in agriculture. What alternatives exist for powering tractors and replacing synthetic fossil fertilizers? How might the costs of this transition be distributed across society? Join us as researchers and practitioners come together to explore these pressing questions.

The discussion will be held on site in Uppsala (Ultuna) and welcomes all employees and students at SLU, and the broader food systems community. 

The panel includes:

  • Per-Anders Hansson, Prof of Agriculture, Energy and Technology at SLU
  • Helena Hansson, Prof of Agriculture and Food Economics at SLU
  • Björn Lindh, Strategic Director at NitroCapt
  • Erik Jacobsson, Business Development Manager at Energifabriken
  • Moderated by Matthew Kessler, food systems podcaster at TABLE

The session will allow significant time for questions from the audience. It is part of SLU Future Food's efforts to stimulate and facilitate dialogues on complex issues related to the green transition and a sustainable food system. A previous example is the SLU Future Food collaboration with the dialogue forum TABLE, resulting in the podcast series Meat: the Four Futures and series of workshop on the Future of Meat and the discussion workshop The Goods and Bads of Green Marketing in Food Systems.
