Mitigation measures for phosphorus and nitrogen under changing climate: conflicts and synergies

Nutrient concentrations, loads and stoichiometry (i.e., N:P ratio) in agricultural runoff affect the quality of surface waters. In Norway, the reduction of nutrient runoff is challenged by the sloped landscape, variable weather and changing climate with an increasing number of extreme hydrological events. Mitigation measures for reducing nutrient losses are pressingly needed but they do not always work simultaneously or equally for both N and P, due to the differences in their agronomic and biogeochemical characteristics and dominant transport pathways.

RemoTnitor: A project for developing integrated non-invasive molecular-genetic monitoring methods for reindeer, moose, and brown bear populations in the Norwegian High North

Improvement and innovation of a BIO-secure Recirculating Aquaculture System for SHRIMP and additional biomass circular production

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.

Producing advanced bio-based fertilizers from fisheries wastes - SEA2LAND

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.
