Biography

I am a grassland scientist with strong interest in forage production and ruminant nutrition, particularly in organic managed systems. Recent research focus has been on the cost of forage production, on how forage magement and silage fermentation pattern affects forage nutritional quality and production and quality of milk. I am studying how managment affects the sustainbility of ruminant production systems, pasture and grazing management, replacement of synthetic vitamins with natural sources and alternative parasite treatments in sheep

#Amazing grazing - bærekraftig kjøtt og ull fra sau som beiter i norsk utmark


Kjøtt og ull fra norske sauer kommer fra gårder med ulikt ressursgrunnlag, ulike driftsopplegg og ulik ressursbruk. I dette prosjektet skal vi undersøke sauebonden sitt driftsopplegg, forbrukeren sin innsikt, og rammevilkårene som både bonden og forbrukeren må forholde seg til. Hvordan kan produksjonen forbedres, og hvordan kan forbrukeren få mer kunnskap og nærhet til hva beitebruk bidrar med gjennom produktene?

Visions and the consequences - analysing visions for Norwegian agriculture and its consequences for food security


In the FOSIP project (Visions and the consequences - analysing visions for Norwegian agriculture and its consequences for food security) we will assess and evaluate the foundation, support, opportunities, and limitations for the goal of increased agri-food self-sufficiency in Norway and assess how far an increase will contribute to improved national food security.

Cultivating sustainable changes in livestock feed production and feeding practices (Feed&Feeding)


The project will evaluate various strategies for feed production and feeding practices to enhance the sustainability of Norway's food system and support national agricultural policy goals. These strategies include adjusting livestock diets, improving breeding and animal health, and introducing new protein sources for feed. The project will assess environmental impacts, such as land use changes, greenhouse gas emissions, soil carbon levels, nutrient balances, and biodiversity, as well as socioeconomic impacts, including food security, economic and social sustainability, and the viability of rural communities.
