Mountain areas in Norway provide important resources for livestock grazing. These resources are crucial for agricultural production in a country with limited agricultural land and a climate and topography that restrict production of feed and food. A key contributor in the harvest of these resources has been mountain summer farming and outfield grazing in general. However, the use of mountainous grazing resources has been declining strongly for several decades with the regrowth of formerly open areas as a consequence. In contrast, recreational use, number of holiday cabins and associated infrastructure is rapidly increasing. Conflicts between recreational and agriculture use have received increasing attention in different media. We investigated the spatial patterns of cabin development and key grazing areas in Norwegian mountain areas, analysing data on livestock, cabins, and associated infrastructure. We found a large number of cabins and associated infrastructure within high-quality grazing areas indicating that the quality of grazing has not been adequately considered in the location of new cabins. Taking into consideration that cabin development seems not to decrease, the reduced availability of grazing resources may result in an increasing level of conflict and also impact food security in the long run.

Indoor plant production in greenhouses and vertical farms is essential in Nordic countries because the climate does not permit field cultivation of several important species. This project aims to improve illumination methods and nutrient recirculation to better support local cultivation near consumers, with lettuce, baby spinach, and woodland strawberry as target crops. Pulsed LED illumination and spectral optimization of background light, accounting for the photosystem properties of the tested species to maximize photosynthetic activity, are being investigated under controlled conditions. Extensive phenotyping of plants is being carried out using multispectral (PlantEye F600, Phenospex) and hyperspectral (Specim FX series, 400-1700 nm) imaging technologies to monitor their growth, health status, and molecular properties such as chlorophyll a and b levels. Combined illumination and fertilization tests using cyanobacteria to recirculate nutrients from greenhouse wastewater will be conducted later in the project. These advancements will enable plant growth in urban areas near consumers, reducing transportation costs and the environmental footprint of agriculture.
