Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Under de senaste 300 åren har jordbrukslandskapet i Sverige genomgått stora förändringar. Detta började med att bönderna i slutet av 1600-talet erhöll en stor del av adelns jord. De fick således förvalta sin egen vinst, vilket resulterade i en rad nyodlingar och tekniska hjälpmedel. I början av 1900-talet introducerades konstgödslet och efter andra världskriget Human-induced eutrophication has rapidly become one of the most important environmental issues. The problem is largely due to the shift in agricultural practices. Farming methods have become more efficient during the last 300 years. Watercourses have been straightened out and wetlands have been reduced to increase agricultural landuse. Since the end of the 1940s, fertilization has increased dramat

Varumärkesrätten är territoriell, till skillnad från Internet, en av våra idag viktigaste marknadsplatser, som är globalt. Ett resultat av varumärkesrättens territorialitet och det faktum att rättigheterna till ett varumärke följer registrerings- eller inarbetningslandets gränser är att det är möjligt för ett varumärke att ägas av olika innehavare i olika länder. Vilket kan leda till problem när sTrademark law is territorial, contrary to one of today’s most important market places - the Internet, which is a global medium.
