Kristina Bergman

I am working as a PhD student within the Swedish Blue Food Center for Future Seafood. My focus is identifying sustainable seafood options and developing current methods to assess food sustainability to include more aspects of sustainability. I am particularly interested in better including marine biodiversity aspects in Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of seafood. I also have experience from work in both research projects and with contract work in the field of sustainable production and consumption of seafood. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a central method in my work to investigate how environmental impacts can be reduced most effectively.

More about my project

My research areas:

Seafood's role in sustainable and healthy diets

Sustainability evaluation using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Measuring marine biodiversity effects on product level
