Abstract
Hundreds of years ago, indigenous people of the north domesticated wild reindeer and used them for food, clothing, housing and transport. See how Sami people of Norway still keep large herds of reindeer to produce meat for the market.

The Faro Convention underlined the importance of educational initiatives related to heritage. This paper focuses on the educational dimension of landscape, as a means to better facilitate its social acceptance and hence its inclusion in planning and management processes. The relation between landscape education and social perception, through a few European examples will be analysed to ascertain whether the principles of the Convention are being complied with effectively. The authors introduce four case studies of heritage-related education carried out in three European countries (Spain, Norway and Italy). These case studies provide the possibility to coherently analyse a wide range of activities and initiatives occurring at various scales and levels: geographic, local and sectoral. In addition, they describe the pedagogical potential of cultural landscapes and cultural heritage, and highlight some of the educational strategies and measures currently used in this field.

Abstract
Acrylamide has become an important measure when looking at profitability and sustainability in the potato processing industry. Acrylamide is a possible carcinogenic which is formed in starchy foods during high-temperature cooking processes. Crisps and French fries made from processing potatoes are consumed by people of all ages and therefore the pressure on the industry has been large to reduce the acrylamide levels. In the ongoing project POTETFRIT (2019-2022), the aim is to reduce acrylamide content and improve product quality, profitability and sustainability in the production of Norwegian crisps and French fries. The aim will be reached through new knowledge about the interaction between potato quality and storage conditions. The effect of different temperature strategies including cold storage (5 ⁰C) and reconditioning at 15 ⁰C was tested in eight different varieties (Lady Claire, Kiebitz, Pirol, Lady Britta, Peik, Innovator, Zorba and Gullflaks). The importance of elevated CO2 levels in the potato store on product quality and acrylamide content, was studied in the same potato varieties and in tubers with different maturity levels. Storage conditions in 29 commercial potato stores was also studied, with attention to temperature conditions and CO2 levels in different stages of the storage season. The effect of different ventilation strategies was also studied. So far results show that the varieties L. Claire, Kiebitz and Gullflaks can be stored at low temperature levels without developing high sugar and acrylamide levels and dark fry colour and at the same time keeping sprouting at a low level. In the CO2 trials, none of the varieties tested showed elevated sugar and acrylamide levels when exposed to high CO2 levels (15000 ppm) and also in the commercial stores there was no correlation between high CO2 and high sugar levels.
