Historically, the forest sector has been an important industry for the Norwegian economy, particularly for rural areas. Even though growth patterns among rural communities have differed, all have been greatly affected by urban centralization, global markets, and economic decline in the agricultural sector. The multi-dimensional value of natural resources creates possibilities for local economic development, and landowners are a key factor in releasing this potential. Innovation research within the use of forest land has experienced rejuvenation in recent years as reduced income from agricultural products, saw logs and pulp logs has become a critical policy issue at national and regional levels. Four innovation-oriented studies have recently been completed at the University of Life Science and the Forest and Landscape Institute in Norway. These studies examined Entrepreneurial attitudes effect on probability for start-upsEntrepreneurial attitudes impact on innovation and performancesocial networks, learning orientation and entrepreneurial climate impact on innovativeness. This presentation will highlight the most important findings from these studies and outline implications of the findings that may be used by policy makers, landowners and research.

In order to uphold economic growth and employment in the districts and nationally, one is dependent on small and competitive firms and sole owner enterprises. These represent the majority of firms and are a vital source for new creativity and development in both traditional and new sectors. How one should promote entrepreneurship and innovation among these companies has been a central theme in political debates. The foremost goal with this thesis is to advance knowledge about the factors that trigger creativity and innovation in small firms, with the main focus on firms that offer non-timber forest products and services (NTFP&S). Article I was based on a questionnaire for forest owners in Telemark, Vest-Agder and Aust-Agder (three counties in east Norway) and shows that the likelihood of starting up with NTFP&S is greater among forest owners that recognize opportunities and are risk takers. Articles II and III were based on a questionnaire for firms that work with nature-based tourism. The first of them builds on Article I and shows that forest owners that recognize opportunity and are risk takers have a greater likelihood of changing the way they supply their products and services. Article III shows the effect of external relationships on innovation and how innovation affects economic accomplishment. The relationships are also exemplified by a case study. Article IV was based on a study of a random selection of forest owners with more than 25 hectares of forest in souteast Norway. The study shows that external relationships and learning orientation have a positive effect on innovation and again on economic success among forest owners, related to NTFP&S. Article V was based on a questionnaire for small, knowledge-intensive firms and shows the impact of external relationships on product, process and market innovation. Each of the articles presents implications of the findings and suggestions for further research.

Increased urbanization in many societies is having a negative impact on vitality of rural areas. To maintain the vitality of these areas governments have employed a variety of policies, some of which are designed to increase new and alternative income from forest land. The multi-dimensional value of natural resources creates possibilities for local economic development, and landowners are a key factor in releasing this potential. Innovation research within the use of forest land has experienced rejuvenation in recent years as reduced income from agricultural products, saw logs and pulp logs has become a critical policy issue at national and regional levels. Four innovation-oriented studies have recently been completed at the University of Life Science and the Forest and Landscape Institute in Norway. These studies examined entrepreneurial attitudes effect on probability for start-ups entrepreneurial attitudes impact on innovation and performance social networks, learning orientation and entrepreneurial climate impact on innovativeness. This presentation will highlight the most important findings from these studies and outline implications of the findings that may be used by policy makers, landowners and research.

I Mjøsbygdene finnes lite eller ikke kløvergnager (Hypera nigrirostris), men ellers forekommer både kløvergnager og ulike arter av rødkløversnutebiller over hele kløverdyrkingsområdet, med størst konsentrasjon i Midt-Telemark, Vestfold og Ytre Østfold. Liten avstand mellom eldre kløverfrøeng og kløvergjenlegg i 2008 øker faren for angrep i 2009. Til tross for sikker reduksjon i forekomsten av skadedyr, var to eller tre gangers insektsprøyting lønnsomt bare i halvparten av frøengene som ble behandla i 2008. Siden sjansen for avlingsgevinst ser ut til å være større ved sprøyting med Biscaya OD 240 enn med Fastac 50 eller Karate, vil vi, for frøenger som ut fra geografi og tidligere kløverfrøavl er i faresonen, anbefale sprøyting med Biscaya i 2009. Norsk frøavlerlag har fått off-label godkjenning til slik bruk av Biscaya. Nødvendig tilleggsetikett og erklæring om ansvarsforhold kan lastes ned fra frøavlerlagets nettside www.froavlerlaget.no.
