Introduction
My work mainly focuses on resource recovery and assessment of sustainable supply chains, such as food waste valorisation and recovery of side flows from the food industry. I use LCA as a tool for calculating the environmental impact, and also aim to include the important aspect of ecosystem quality. The aim of my work is to assess and quantify the impact caused by innovative solutions developed to support resource efficient supply chains and sustainable development.

Retailers' food waste, often consisting of edible food, could be reduced, while simultaneously tackling food insecurity, through surplus food donations to vulnerable groups. However, sustainability assessments of food donations covering all three sustainability perspectives are scarce, hampering decision-makers in prioritizing donation as a food wa...
Although essential in the human diet, large quantities of available protein are currently lost or under-utilized within the food system, including protein rich side streams from conventional potato starch production. By using the genome editing technique CRISPR-Cas9, conventional starch potato cultivars can be upgraded to facilitate high-value reco...
To facilitate transition to a sustainable food system, it is necessary to address food losses. A large proportion of waste occurs during primary production, with large quantities of edible crop parts left in the field at harvest. One such product is broccoli, where normally only around one-third of the edible parts of the plant are harvested in Swe...
Food from waste, is that really a good idea? Yes! In our latest article "Life cycle assessment of fish oil substitute produced by microalgae using food waste", we found that Omega-3 (DHA) from microalgae result in lower environmental impact and reduced loss of biodiversity in comparison to traditional fish oil. Recovering valuable nutrients from fo...
Fish oil has been used in conventional aquaculture for decades, despite the known links between increasing global demand for fish and depletion of natural resources and vital ecosystems (FAO, 2020, 2019). Alternative feed ingredients, including algae oil rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has therefore been increasingly used to substitute traditio...
