Why organic food for the youth?Rising obesity rates among European children cause concern. In spite of the excess access to food, malnutrition and diseases related to food intolerance are also common, and call for new food serving approaches in public as well as in private settings. Hence, schools are increasingly becoming a “food arena" for public engagement, recently demonstrated by the EU decision to implement a daily free fruit school program (European Commission 2008). The European Commission has allotted funding for a School Fruit Scheme which will begin in the 2009/2010 school year, jointly funded by the EU and by participating national governments. The program is aimed at improving the health of young people in Europe, hoping that increased fruit and vegetable consumption patterns will continue into theiradult lives. Although a number of countries rely on the family to provide pupils’ food during school hours, publicly organized meal systems and fruit provision strategies are growing in Europe; this is partly due to longer school days and to assist busy families, but also due to public nutrition and sustainability strategies. Public food serving is utilized to achieve healthier eating and more sustainable consumption patterns, as shown by the strategy to accompany the mentioned school fruit scheme with “awareness-raising and educational measures” (European Commission 2008).Another important option for sustainable school food is to serve organic products. Organic agriculture has less negative impacts on the environment, for example due to reduced loads of pesticides, and organic produce may have a higher quality (e.g. Brandt/ Mølgaard 2001). Hence, and due to the rapidly increasing consumers’ demand, European countries promote organic food and farming, e.g. with a European action plan (Commission of the European Communities, 2004). Organic school meal programs provide an opportunity to increase the quality of the school food and hence the health and well-being of the pupils, to increase organic consumption, and to inform pupils about sustainable food patterns. The introduction of organic food in catering often implies that more focus is set on healthy eating (Mikkelsen et al. 2006; O’Doherty Jensen et al. 2001) because organic food strategies are usually guided by a committed food and nutrition policy. Further, organic food strategies often include “less meat, more vegetables” as a result of premium prices which are normally much higher for organic meat than for vegetables and cereal products. Such adaptations are often nutritionally sound.However, public procurement for sustainable nutrition and the use of organic food is still an untappedpotential, as Morgan and Sonnino state (2008). Even though numerous committed activists strive for highquality, organic school food this field has only started to develop most of the European states. A coordinated and well informed effort is needed to overcome enduring restrictions. But it is worthwhile, and the chances for society are huge because the youth of today are the future family parents. When they get introduced to organic food and farming in public settings like school education, it is more likely that they will buy organic food when they grow up.

All contributions that are included in these proceedings were part of the 16thIFOAM Organic World Congress “Cultivate the future” that was held in Modena, Italy, from 16-20 June 2008 and its satellite activities. Embedded in this Organic World Congress as scientific component was the Second Scientific Conference of the International Society of Organic Agriculture Research (ISOFAR), also held in Modena from 18th-20th June 2008. This compilation should be seen as a complement to the Book of Abstracts of the IFOAM Organic World Congress 2008 and the Proceedings of the ISOFAR 2nd Scientific Conference, both of which can also be found on the CD-ROM with the complete set of the Proceedings.It was our great fortune as iPOPY research team that the IFOAM Organic World Congress Steering Committee agreed to let us host an afternoon session on public organic catering. This was integrated into the Organic World Congress programme on Thursday, 19th June, scheduled for 17:00-20:30. The organisers gave us their full support and we were able to bring together a truly international panel of speakers (presentations) and contributors (posters) which prove that the topic of public organic food for youth is currently enjoying worldwide attention. The purpose of the iPOPY project is to study how strategies and instruments for public procurement of organic food in serving outlets for young people may increase the consumption of organic food.In the workshop that we arranged during the Organic World Congress, the focus was set on organic school meals.

Høye og stigende lammetap i Møre og Romsdal kan ikke forklares med rovdyrtap alene, og sjukdom som sjodogg (flåttbåren sjukdom), alveld og angrep av fluelarver antas å være viktige tapsårsaker i beitesesongen. Det ser ut til at forekomst og utbredelse av flått øker og at høye tap i enkelte besetninger skyldes den flåttbårne sjukdommen sjodogg. For å forstå om sjukdom, og spesielt sjodogg, kan være en viktig faktor i forhold til høye og økende tap i Møre og Romsdal, ble det i 2008 tatt blodprøver fra lam i 35 besetninger og smitte med den flåttbårne bakterien Anaplasma phagocytophilum ble påvist i alle besetningene. I 2009 ble ti utvalgte besetninger med høye tap fulgt nøye med bruk av radiomerking, tilsyn, prøvetaking og besetningsgjennomgang med mål om å avdekke faktiske tapsårsaker. Utstrakt bruk av radiobjeller og lammemedaljonger førte dessverre ikke til funn av tapte dyr, slik at det også i 2009 er store udokumenterte tap. Analyser viser at smittet med bakterien A. phagocytophilum skjedde både på vår og sommerbeite, men det var flest tilfeller som ble smittet på sommerbeite. Det var flere varianter av bakterien A.phagocytophilum til stede på de prøvetatte gårdene. Tilveksten i perioden vår-høst er svært lav for de ti besetningene. Det er ikke funnet andre faktorer enn smitte med A.phagocytophilum som kan forklare den lave tilveksten og høye tapsprosenten på sommerbeite i de undersøkte besetningene.

Tranevåg i Farsund kommune representerer et sørlandsk og tradisjonelt kystkulturlandskap som delvis er holdt i hevd ved sauebeiting og lyngsviing. Arealene rundt brakkvannspollen Råna ble valgt ut under Nasjonal registrering av verdifulle kulturlandskap i 1994 som et nasjonalt verdifullt kulturlandskap fra Vest-Agder. Bioforsk fikk i oppdrag fra Fylkesmannen i Vest-Agder å utforme en forenklet skjøtselsplan for området. Oppdraget er blitt gjennomført innen prosjekt " Biomangfoldet i kulturlandskapet- Arvesølvet på Agder".
