NIBIO is a project driven research institute and collects approximately 100 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 aim of this project is to contribute to the development of recycling fertiliser products based on fish sludge, which can replace parts of the mineral fertiliser currently used in agriculture
There is a need to update knowledge about the utilization and loss of nitrogen and phosphorus from livestock manure in order to assist the authorities and the agricultural industry in meeting climate and environmental targets. There is a major focus on the use of phosphorus, phosphorus content in soil and runoff to waterways in connection with the revision of the fertilizer regulations. The time and method of spreading livestock manure, as well as the total amount of manure used, are important factors that influence the loss. Reduced ammonia volatilization and runoff of nitrogen reduces indirect nitrous oxide losses from livestock manure, but also direct and indirect nitrous oxide emissions through reduced use of mineral fertiliser. The project includes a literature compilation and field measurements to measure the utilization of nutrients at different spreading times for livestock manure in different parts of the country. In the project, field measurements will be made on the effect of different spreading times on the utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus for plant growth. The field measurements are carried out in Rogaland, Vestland and Trøndelag county.
The main aim of this project, funded by Artsdatabanken, is to collect and identify soil organisms in understudied northern regions, particularly subarctic soils in eastern Finnmark.
The project will support implementation of selected nature friendly adaptation and mitigation measures in the landscape of the Moravian- Silesian Region in Czech Republic. It includes measures for protection against drought and erosion, strengthening retention and improving the green infrastructure of the landscape.
