Trondheim kommune vil øke andelen økologisk mat i skoler og barnehager. Derfor er kommunen valgt til å være et norsk "case" i forskningsprosjektet "Økologisk mat til ungdommen" (iPOPY). Økologisk skolemelk er tilgjengelig i Trondheim, og en høyere andel økomelk kan bidra til å innfri kommunens målsetning.Etter kraftig prisstigning, er salget av økologisk skolemelk nå drastisk redusert på landsbasis.

The policies and practice of school meal provision in Germany are currently in a dynamic transition led on by the introduction of a fulltime school system. One of the many issues being highlighted is its potential to increase the use of organic produce. The research project "innovative Public Organic food Procurement for Youth" (iPOPY; www.ipopy.coreportal.org) analyses the entire system. Results of the first comparison between Italy, Finland, Denmark, and Norway are presented here, as a background to discuss the German situation. Using a common guideline developed in iPOPY the types of school meal provision can be categorised as (a) warm lunch (IT, FI) or (b) fruit and milk subscription schemes to supplement a packed lunch (DK, NO). Italy emerges as the pioneer of organic school meal provision. Certification of organic catering is mandatory in Germany whereas the other countries have slightly diverging or no apparent regulation. Notwithstanding the wide array of influencing factors, some decisive elements fostering organic school food can be identified such as (a) active local stakeholders and (b) quality requirements.

Nutritional and health problems related to life style alarm European governments. The interest in school meals as a lever for change is increasing because young people reside longer in public institutions and their often unsatisfactory eating patterns might be counterbalanced by healthy school food. Organic food contributes to sustainable nutrition, and hence is an interesting starting point for healthier menus and food education. The research project ‘innovative Public Organic food Procurement for Youth" (iPOPY) studies efficient ways to implement organic food in public serving outlets for young people. The project has four explorative work packages studying policies, supply chains and certification, the young consumers" perception and learning about sustainability and organic food, and health effects of organic menus in Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Norway. Finland and Italy serve a warm school meal daily for all pupils, whereas Denmark and Norway rely on packed lunch from home.Italy and Denmark have ambitious goals for organic food in schools, whereas Finland and Norway have not (yet). Political decisions are required, but not enough, to ensure well functioning organic school meal systems.

In 1998 Plum pox virus (PPV) was detected for the first time in Norway.  Virus symptoms were observed on several trees in a collection of plum cultivars at Njøs Research Station in the Sogn og Fjordane County in West Norway. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority and the Norwegian Crop Research Institute immediately started surveying other variety collections around the country, nuclear stock material and orchards in all important plum-growing areas. Since 1998 we have surveyed the main part of the commercial plum orchards in Norway. About 75 000 individual trees have been tested. About 1 % of the trees have been found infected by PPV. Only the PPV-D strain has been found. It is suspected that the main infection source was infected plums or apricots imported to Njøs around 1970 or earlier.In most plum orchards in Norway, the spread of PPV by aphids is relatively slow. Therefore, we expect to be able to eradicate PPV from commercial plum orchards in the near future.The eradication work is continuing.
