Projects

Innovative approaches and technologies for Integrated Pest Management to increase sustainable food production.
Norway has implemented EU´s Directive on sustainable use of pesticides (2009/128/EC) which promotes the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and alternative approaches or techniques (IPM tools) to minimize pesticide use. There is a lack, however, of proven and practical IPM tools for farmers to use, as well as a relevant policy for a successful implementation of IPM.

Utilization of innovative agricultural technologies for sustainable grain production in China with reduced environmental footprint

We want everyone in Norway to have easy access to our findings of pesticides in food and the environment. In 2016 we start planning an interactive web application that in the end will make data from the monitoring of pesticides in food and the environment in Norway easily accessible.
