Finding housing is a major challenge for students in university towns like Lund, where demand far exceeds supply. Long queue systems, high rents, and limited options force many to commute or move frequently — disrupting their studies and daily life. Negar Khaliliaraghi, shows in her research, a clear causal link between student housing and academic performance. Finding accommodation is often one o

We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

Even though awareness of climate change is growing, it is not primarily environmental concern that drives consumers to choose plant-based foods — it’s the price tag. A new literature review from AgriFood Economics Centre and the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) shows that price plays a decisive role when consumers opt for plant-based rather than animal-based products.

What we eat and drink impacts people and the environment in many ways – thanks to the way food is produced, transported and used. New guidelines for purchasing foodstuffs raise our ambitions and clarify the University’s role on issues of sustainable food production. The target is to increase the proportion of food that is vegetarian and in season, and for food wastage to be reduced. Food is a sust
