Biography

As director of Norwegian Genetic Resource Centre, I am working with genetic resources for food and agriculture within animal genetic resources, plant genetic resources and forest genetic resources. I did my PhD on animal genetic resources in 2009; "Differences in grazing preferences, behaviour and production efficiency between two cattle breeds." 

I started working with conservation of Norwegian endangered dairy cattle breeds in 1990 by traveling around in most of Norway recording each animal that was left and establishing a pedigree database for these breeds, Kuregisteret (The Cow Register). This database is still of essential value both in the breeding work for these breeds and when monitoring them. Since 2000 I have been national coordinator for animal genetic resources.
