NoLice

Novel tools and knowledge for a future with no lice infestations in Norwegian aquaculture

The overall aim of this project is to identify naturally produced compounds that are associated with Atlantic salmon susceptibility and resistance to two parasitic sea lice species and to develop tools that can be applied to boost Atlantic salmon resistance and reduce lice infestation in Norway.

FoodForFuture

Innovation, consumer insight and processing knowledge for sustainability and health

The main objective of this research program is to contribute to research-driven innovation in the Norwegian food industry in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals through understanding innovation processes, consumers, and product and process interactions.

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.

BIOCOAT

Sustainable biocoating of probiotic cheese with biodegradable packaging

In BIOCOAT we explore the use of sustainable, edible biocoating of probiotic cheese in combination with biodegradable packaging for extended shelf life and enhanced functionality.

Insight

Insight into Fish Health under Climate Change

In this project, we study how different climate scenarios and subsequent climate changes can affect the farming of salmon and cod in Norway.

SafeFoodCtrl

Antibacterial enzymes against pathogens

The project aims to develop and apply antibacterial enzymes ("enzybiotics") for the control of important pathogens in the food chain.

bioACTive

Bioactive herbs for feed and packaging

The objective is to increase value in the Norwegian agricultural sector by producing bioactive compounds (phytogens) for addition to feed and packaging materials.

DigiFoods

Smart sensor solutions for food quality assessment

DigiFoods centre for research-based innovation (SFI) develops smart sensor solutions for food quality assessment directly in the processing lines, throughout the food value chains. The information can optimize both processes and value chains, and make the food industry more efficient and sustainable.

Poultrynsect

The use of live insect larvae to improve sustainability and animal welfare of organic chicken production

The project aims to test the effect of live insect larvae as a feed ingredient in the production of slow-growing organic chicken to increase sustainability of poultry meat production, improve animal welfare and meet the consumer demands for healthier, more natural and tasty meat products.

Phagepowder

Sustainable, Effective and Natural Inhibition of Food-Borne Pathogens by Advanced Phage Technology

The project goal is to establish a technology platform for development of next generation phages in enhanced formulations, to protect food against contamination with Listeria, Salmonella and STEC (Shiga toxin producing E. coli).

FruktKlima

Technological solutions for optimal handling of Norwegian fruit

In the project, competence transfer to the fruit packinghouses is central in order to be able to utilize and implement the results for optimized packinghouse management and control.

NORSKVegetar

Norwegian vegetables, legumes and grains in sustainable vegetarian products

In this project we will work with key challenges to increase the production of Norwegian food products in the vegetarian segment, based on Norwegian plant-based raw materials.

Uncorking

Uncorking wine & cider typicality

In this project we will document terroir for Norwegian Cider, make a sensory product differensiation of cider from Hardanger and develop good routines for assessment of sensory and chemical quality.

Sustainable postharvest handling of apple

Eple-Handling will facilitate collaboration in the whole value chain of the apple production, with focus on reducing the incidence of physiological disorders and fungal decay of the fruit.

Development of SNP array for cod

Existing genome sequence data is used to discover genomic SNP-variants and develop SNP-array specific for the Norwegian cod population. Use of the SNP-panel is demonstrated by analyzing data from the National Cod Breeding Program.

SFI Harvest

Harvesting and processing of lower trophic marine resources

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

ArcticHubs

Resource competition: Challenges for Arctic communities

Increasing global competition for natural resources poses major challenges to the Arctic region. These include strategically planning of fair distribution of economic gains and work opportunities, whilst simultaneously minimising the impact of ecological, social, cultural and political challenges and tensions that will arise through expansion of new businesses.

InnoFoodAfrica

Climate-smart African cereal, pulse and root crops

This project will explore climate-smart African cereal, pulse and root crops in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda and develop and demonstrate optimal solutions for cultivation practices, processing and productization towards new food products, business solutions and value chains.
