NIBIO is a project driven research institute and collects approximately 400 million NOK annually in project funding from both national and international sources. A lot of activity is carried out through EU and EEA-projects and we also participate in research projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America. NIBIO coordinates several large international projects with a particular focus on food security and climate change. The list of projects is not complete.
The purpose of the project is to map, identify, and analyze implications for the forestry sector of the EU's Green Deal (European Green Deal, EGD), as well as to communicate this knowledge.
Perennial grassland mixtures: a novel approach to forage and food production, land restoration and climate resilience in Ethiopia (EthiopiaGrass).
The aim of SEA2LAND is to valorize waste/residues from fishereis and aquaculture as fertilisers and soil improvers. This is a European project with partners from Malta and other Meditranean countries in the south to Norway in the north as well as in Chile in South America. A large number of products will be developed and tested across Europe. The goal is to develop products ready for market. In Norway we focus on fish sludge from aquaculture.
Shrimp production in aquaculture is going to be made sustainable in a European project, also with participation from India. NIBIO will be responsible for evaluation and sustainable use of the residues, primarily as fertilisers.
