Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO)
Norway
Description: Bioeconomy is an economy that exploits biological resources from land and sea, as well as waste, as inputs for food, energy and other goods and services. NIBIO’s main research focus in this regard is on biological resources from soil, plants, forests and land. Our researchers look at which parts of nature should be protected, managed or utilised in order to extract value from nature in an environmentally and climate friendly way. NIBIO work within highland and mountain areas with focus on issues related to mountain agriculture such as social research related to the sustainability and further development of agriculture and local communities. We work with mapping of resource bases on agricultural land and rangeland, improving crops and grazing resources, sustainable farming practices and biodiversity. Cultivars and breeds adapted to local conditions and climate change, documentation of environmentally friendly and high-quality products from highland and mountain areas are also in focus. NIBIO delivers research, managerial support and knowledge for use in national preparedness, as well as for businesses and the society at large. Approximately 700 employees are present in 16 locations across the country. The main office is located at Ås just outside Oslo.
