NorwegianFoods

Improved utilization of Norwegian agricultural resources

There is a need to utilize Norwegian agricultural resources more effectively to increase self-sufficiency and reduce food waste. The NorwegianFoods project aims to contribute to increased value creation through innovative use and processing of Norwegian raw materials into attractive, healthy, and sustainable products.

MicroPack

Food Microbiology and Circular Packaging Solutions

Norway is known for safe food production, but pathogenic microorganisms and food waste remain challenges that must be addressed. Through the MicroPack project, researchers will develop new knowledge on how to ensure food safety, prevent food waste, and develop circular packaging solutions that meet future sustainability requirements.

The effect of process on protein digestibility in salmon

What causes proteins from new feed ingredients to be digested by salmon to a lesser extent than proteins from more traditional ingredients? Could it be due to the processing conditions? In this project we aim to find answers and develop methods and analyses that explain the relationship between processing conditions and protein digestibility.

OptiBruk

Optimal use of underutilised marine resources

In this project, we are investigating how to maximise the use of all raw materials from the seafood industry. Better utilisation of residual materials from seafood and low-trophic species can reduce food waste, increase the economic value of by-products, and contribute to improved food security.

Chicken meal for salmon

Utilisation of residual raw materials from chicken as a protein source in salmon feed

The aim of this project is to facilitate increased utilisation of chicken residues in feed for salmon.

BLUSH-Laks

Using pink salmon efficiently, sustainably and profitably

The goal of the project is to develop new knowledge and solutions that contribute to the efficient, sustainable and profitable utilisation of pink salmon.

ValueSøl

Producing high value macroalgae in Troms and Finnmark through advanced hatchery and production techniques

The ValueSøl project aims to improve the efficiency for dulce/søl (Palmaria palmata) sporeling production, to promote the production of dulce for human consumption with low carbon footprint and to evaluate dulce cultivation as a mitigating solution for aquaculture effluents discharged to the environment.

SIS Newbie

Utilization and management of new marine species in Norwegian waters

Climate change and shifting migration patterns are causing new marine species to appear more frequently in Norwegian waters. The SIS Newbie project will explore how these resources can be managed and utilized in a sustainable and profitable way, with a particular focus on food production and value creation.

ARRIVAL

Enabling biotechnology for future food production

ARRIVAL aims to enable a wider implementation of alternative animal protein sources in food production chains, as well as preparing society, consumers, and the food industry for the potential impacts of this radical shift in production methods.

Sequential extraction of bioactive molecules from rockweed

We are aiming to develop a method for sequential extraction of bioactive molecules from rockweed to ensure the maximum utilization of the seaweed.

Low Trophic Aquaculture Network

The increase in low trophic aquaculture (LTA) production is a way to contribute to the sustainability goals that Norway has as part of its national aquaculture plan.

SeaSoil

Reduction and management of potentially toxic substances in seaweed

The overall objective of this project is to promote value creation, including ecosystem services, and a further expansion of the seaweed industry in Europe.

SeaMark

Seaweed-based market applications

SeaMark aims to upscale circular ocean seaweed cultivation and land-based integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems and develop novel processing methods involving fermentation and biotransformation into twelve innovative seaweed-based products.

SusKelpFood

Sustainable ingredients from cultivated kelp

There is a growing need to produce more food in a sustainable way. In the SusKelpFood project, we examine how kelp aquaculture can be a part of the solution for the sustainable production of food and animal feed.

NoLTANet

Establishing a Norwegian Low Trophic Aquaculture Network

The project will create a network of Norwegian stakeholders involved and interested in Low Trophic Aquaculture (LTA).

MacroALGAQUA

Increasing sustainable macroalgae production in Norway to provide food/feed ingredients

The project will contribute significantly to the development of a new aquaculture industry in the north of Norway as well as contributing valuable knowledge and techniques in genetic breeding, biomass processing and industrial application opportunities that will benefit the industry throughout Norway.

SFI Harvest

Harvesting and processing of lower trophic marine resources

Vision: Pioneering the lower-trophic fisheries – Innovations to unlock the blue bioeconomic potential.

ExtraSnack

Health properties of plant-based snacks

The project aims to investigate the health properties of a novel plant-based snacks prototype, produced by extrusion technology using pea starch, pea protein and oat fiber.
