Emma Moberg

My PhD work has involved identifying current environmental impacts of the Swedish diet and benchmarking these relative to global environmental targets. 

A central part of my PhD studies has been to examine different aspects of food taxation including how climate impact values of food can be established for use in taxation. I have worked with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to calculate the climate impact of food products on the Swedish market that will be affected by a climate tax. An important part of my work has involved examining methodological choices within LCA and the effect of the choices on the climate impact of food products. I have also been working with identifying potential goal conflicts resulting from taxation. 

Teaching in LCA courses offered by the Department of Energy and Technology at SLU, and at Uppsala University.
