Optimizing Carbon, Soil Health and Yield in Coffee-Forest Systems as a Climate-Smart Land Management in Ethiopia (CoffeeLand)

CoffeeLand is an interdisciplinary research project aimed at advancing climate-smart land management in Ethiopia’s coffee-forest systems, which are critical for biodiversity, livelihoods, and global Arabica coffee genetic resources. These systems support millions of smallholder farmers but are increasingly threatened by climate change, land-use pressure, and declining productivity.

Techgraze – Integrating Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Grazing Practices in Norway

In Norway, a declining grazing pressure and farm abandonment have led to undesirable ecological and socio-economic outcomes. The TechGraze project aims to address these challenges by integrating Virtual Fencing (VF) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies to enhance pasture-based livestock management.

Partnership for Research and Education for Monitoring Coastal Environments in Africa (CoastAfrica)

CoastAfrica is an international research and education partnership that strengthens collaboration between Norwegian and African institutions to monitor coastal environmental change.
