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 overall aim of the project is to develop strategies grass silage production that reduce enteric methane emissions in ruminants
A testing program for turfgrass species and varieties on sand-based golf greens in Scandinavia.
The value of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), i.e. traditions, knowledge, customs and practices, which have been passed down between generations, has come into focus through the "UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices". Today, Sweden has no ICH and only one safeguard practice listed.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cattle account for approx. 14.5 per cent of global GHG emissions. At the same time, cattle in combination with milk make up a large part of the value creation and employment in Norwegian agriculture. There is also a goal to increase Norwegian food production. Through grazing, cattle contribute to maintain an open cultural landscape and biological diversity. This project will collect data from key European areas to design a decision support system for sustainable milk production with reduced GHG emissions.
