KTH FOOD is a new research centre for sustainable and healthy food systems which aims to engage and align the education, research, and outreach competences at KTH towards a sustainable and healthy food system. “Food systems have a huge impact on the environment. We know that it contributes largely to greenhouse gas emission, water use and the decline of bio-diversity,” says Francisco Vilaplana, associate professor at the Division of Glycoscience and director of KTH FOOD.

Following a request from the newly established KTH Food center, KTH Library has started a subscription to Nature Food.
Light and sensor technology means vegetables can grow quickly and thrive in water, even where there are no windows. The crops obtain their energy from LED lighting instead of sunlight. “Our main challenge is making the growing process itself as energy efficient as possible,” says researcher Michael Martin, Professor of Sustainable Production at KTH.
