Biografi

Nhat tok sin doktorgrad ved TIK Senter for Teknologi, Innovasjon og Kultur, Universitetet i Oslo i 2020, og har en mastergrad i innovasjon og entreprenørskap fra Handelshøyskolen BI. Nhat har tverrfaglig bakgrunn i innovasjonsstudier, entreprenørskap, ledelsesstudier, styring, stakeholder-teori og omstillingslitteratur. Nhats erfaringer og forskningsinteresser er knyttet til bærekraftig omstilling i matsystemer og bærekraftparadokser, og hvordan organisasjoner responderer på kriser, f.eks., korona. Blant annet har Nhat studert ressurseffektivitet og systemiske utfordringer i store etablerte matbedrifter og atferd mot bærekraft og utnyttelse av matsvinn og biprodukter, og rollen av digitale teknologier.

Sammendrag

The EU’s Farm to Fork strategy aims to create fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food systems, ensuring universal access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, and sustainable food. Increasing the production and consumption of organic food is considered crucial to achieving these objectives. This study explores the development of organic food in four selected Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. We have observed the variance in the market share of organic products in the retail sector among these countries, with 13, 2.5, 1.73 and 8.9%, respectively (2021 statistics). This highlights a significant gap, with Denmark and Sweden leading in organic food consumption. We seek to understand the reasons behind this disparity by delving into public policies governing organic food strategies in the selected countries. The analysis entails examining multiple policy documents to pinpoint fundamental strategies and significant milestones influencing the development of the organic sector. Our findings indicate that Denmark and Sweden have historically implemented supportive policies, including financial incentives, subsidies, and regulatory frameworks, to promote organic agriculture. Their consistent, credible, comprehensive and coherent governmental policies and long-term commitments offer a stable environment for the organic sector to flourish. They seem to possess extensive distribution networks and better market access for organic products, contributing to the sector’s growth. The accessibility and availability of organic products in retail outlets play a vital role in influencing consumer choices. The paper provides policymakers with valuable insights into how to foster the consumption and production of organic food, not only within the case studies but also in other national contexts.

JordbærSmak: En optimalisert moderne produksjonsteknologi for mer smakfulle norske jordbær


Strawberry is an important berry specie with long traditions in Norway. Norwegian berries have a high status amongconsumers. The climate in Norway is suited to produce strawberries with excellent taste, but the season is short andthe consumers' desire for strawberries around the year has led to a sharp increase in imports in recent years. IfNorwegian strawberries are to compete with imported berries during the growing season and retain their high status,it is important to focus on quality. The opening of import of strawberry plants, have given new possibilities forproduction. The high yield potential of imported strawberry plants combined with growing in substrate in highplastic tunnels meets many of the challenges for strawberry production in Norway. In extension of this, production ofstrawberries in greenhouses and in closed systems have also become relevant. In parallel with new productionsystems and increased import, the taste-quality of Norwegian berries has been challenged. A question that has beenraised is: "Why is there so little difference in the taste of Norwegian and imported strawberries?". However,strawberry taste is complex and specific, and preferences change with several factors, such as age and gender.Strawberry flavor is a complex interaction between sugar, acid, and aroma substances. Since the ripening processstops at harvest, the content of these cannot be changed after picking. Cultivar, cultivation practices, temperatureand light are factors that alone and in combination can affect the quality of taste. The role of the cultivation factorsin modern production systems must be understood in order to improve the consumer's taste experience andoptimize the quality of the final product. TastyStrawberry's main goal is therefore to develop new knowledge thatwill create a basis for optimizing the taste of strawberries produced in modern production systems during anextended growing season in Norway.
