Lantmännen's Cerealier Magazine Focuses on Food Preparedness Research
Growing societal interest in food security in Sweden is highlighted in the latest issue of Lantmännen's Cerealier magazine. The publication presents new research aimed at strengthening the Swedish food system.
Lantmännen has released the latest issue of its magazine, Cerealier, which focuses on food preparedness amid increasing global uncertainty. The magazine showcases new research initiatives designed to strengthen Sweden's food system and reduce its reliance on imported food.
The publication highlights projects such as the PLENTY research center, which explores optimal resource utilization within the food system to foster a circular economy. Helena Fredriksson, Head of the Lantmännen Research Foundation, noted a significant rise in awareness regarding crisis preparedness, with the new issue specifically addressing the food system's readiness and ongoing research activities.
Cerealier details research from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, where drones are being used to develop drought-resistant crops for safeguarding harvests in a changing climate. Additionally, studies at Lund University are investigating baking techniques for crisis situations, focusing on maintaining quality and nutritional value with novel raw materials.
The issue also features the PLATE project and offers practical advice on essential items for emergency preparedness kits. Cerealier is published quarterly by the Lantmännen Research Foundation to disseminate knowledge on food and health research, with an emphasis on cereals and legumes.
