Abstract
Carrot (Daucus carota L. subsp. sativus) is a major vegetable crop in Norway which is stored up to 9 months in refrigerated storage rooms. Postharvest storage losses—primarily from water loss, respiration, and fungal decay—can reach up to 30 %. This study investigated the effects of different postharvest pre-storage strategies involving wound healing (WH) and temperature adaptation (TA) on mass loss, respiration rate, polyacetylene content, and disease development in four carrot cultivars (Nelson, Triton, Nominator, and Romance) during long- term storage. Carrots were subjected to six pre-storage strategies combining WH at 10 ◦ and various TA regimes (directly to 0 ◦ C or 1 ◦ C (60 % or 95–98 % RH) C reduction/day), followed by storage at 0 ◦ C for six months. Data showed that WH at high humidity, followed by gradual cooling, reduced disease incidence and increased the accumulation of antifungal polyacetylenes such as falcarinol and falcarindiol-3-acetate. Respiration rates were initially higher under WH treatments but did not result in increased total storage losses. Rapid cooling without WH led to higher disease levels, particularly in the cultivars Nelson and Romance. The findings support the implementation of a wound healing period prior to temperature reduction as a strategy to reduce postharvest decay and improve carrot storage quality, especially under commercial storage conditions where cooling rates may vary.

Abstract
The study evaluated the effects of replacing whole-plant grass silage with ensiled grass pulp on dairy cow performance and enteric methane emissions. Using a controlled feeding experiment with 40 cows, the results showed reduced dry matter intake but maintained milk production and similar methane intensity due to improved feed efficiency in cows fed pulp. These findings highlight the potential for grass pulp as a viable forage component in green biorefinery value chains.

As the EU intensifies its climate ambitions with the upcoming 2040 targets, it is crucial to understand how implementation of existing EU climate policies is going. How well are current policies working on the ground? Are we on track – or are there gaps that need urgent attention? As the debate around the 2040 targets heats up, this policy brief provides a timely assessment of how existing policies play out in practice and to what extent and how implementation varies across countries. Looking at Norway and Denmark, we compare the implementation of three EU regulations, which were revised in 2023: the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), the Effort-Sharing Regulation (ESR) and the Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector.
