Guest speaker
Associate Professor Elin Röös
Senior Lecturer at the Department of Energy and Technology; Division of Agricultural Engineering, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
Elin’s research focuses on sustainable food production and sustainable land use from systems from a broad and interdisciplinary system perspective.
Elin conducts research and teaches about sustainable food production and sustainable land use from many different angles. These include assessment of the environmental impact of different foods using life cycle assessment (LCA), to calculating the climate impact and land use associated with different types of diets and comparing environmental impacts of different farming and food systems. She also works in many interdisciplinary projects where she looks at the economic and information policy instruments for more sustainable dietary patterns and how more sustainable and healthy food ingredients can be produced and processed.She also works at the Centre for Organic Food and Farming (EPOK) with the research synthesis and research communication.
Adam Arnesson
Organic farmer and biosphere steward at Jannelunds Farm, central Sweden
Organic farmer from Sweden running a diverse agro-ecological based farm. Recently made a transformation moving from animal farming towards producing more plant-based food (for example oats, ancient grains, peas, beans, vegetables). This has increased the number of people fed per hectare while the greenhouse gas intensity has decreased, and the farm is much more resilient.
Adam’s main job as a farmer lies in taking care of thier soil and every species it is shared with, producing eco system services and of course producing food that is healthy for us, making sure that this can be done for many generations to come.

We are the world’s original and largest oat drink company. For over 25 years, we have exclusively focused on developing expertise around oats: a global power crop with inherent properties suited for sustainability and human health. Our commitment to oats has resulted in core technical advancements that enabled us to unlock the breadth of the dairy portfolio, including alternatives to milks, ice cream, yogurt, cooking creams, and spreads. Headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, the Oatly brand is available in more than 20 countries globally.
We aim to help drive a systemic shift in society to a more plant-based food system to tackle climate change and public health challenges. We always aim for our products to have as good as or better nutritional profile than the dairy benchmark.
