SLU is a leading international university providing research, education and environmental assessment within the sciences for sustainable life. Its principal sites are in Alnarp, Umeå and Uppsala, but activities are also conducted at research stations, experimental parks and educational establishments throughout Sweden. We bring people together who have different perspectives, but they all have a common goal: creating the best conditions for a sustainable, thriving and better world.
SLU participates in ACT4CAP27 via the AgriFood Economics Centre and the work is centered on the agricultural simulation model CAPRI. CAPRI needs to be developed in order to analyse how the objectives of the Green Deal can be achieved in an efficient way. This project focuses on inputs such as crop nutrients, pesticides and antibiotics, and greenhouse gas emissions.
