Food from new sources
New knowledge and technologies make it possible to produce food to feed the world’s growing population in brand-new ways.
At Nofima, we develop innovative technology to produce muscle-building proteins for food in a new, eco-friendly way using bioreactors instead of traditional livestock.
We also conduct research into finding and using hitherto untapped raw materials for food, such as low-trophic marine resources – the small organisms in the sea.
The sea is also a source of seaweed and kelp which, if properly developed, can provide sustainable value creation.
In addition, we study how to replace environmentally-resilient raw materials with other raw materials, and still produce food of equivalent or even better value.
