Entomophagy, the consumption of insects, may reduce the negative health and environmental impacts of meat. As one of the novel protein alternatives expected to replace conventional meat consumption, its success will depend on consumer acceptance. To investigate the consumer acceptance of entomophagy, three rounds of a Norwegian survey with 8633 useable responses conducted in 2019/2020, 2021/2022, and 2023/2024 were used. Generalized structural equation modelling was used to test the developed hypotheses. The direct effects of trust, food choice motives, and OCEAN personality traits were investigated. The mediating effects of food safety concerns on the relationship between trust and willingness to try (WTT) food made from insects were also investigated. Social trust and trust in food authorities were positively associated with WTT. No association was found for trust in retailers. Negative associations were found between the effects of social trust and trust in food authorities on food safety concerns, and food safety concern was also a significant mediator. Respondents who emphasized environmental friendliness, health, and novelty were more willing to try, and those who emphasized natural ingredients and familiarity were less willing. Openness was positively associated with WTT, while conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness had a negative association. Gender, education, age and urban living were also found as significant moderators in some paths. The findings of the study imply the need to foster trust among consumers and to emphasize the environmental and health benefits of entomophagy while focusing on increasing consumer familiarity and use of natural ingredients. Personality-focused marketing strategies may also be implored to target consumers high in openness and low in conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness.

Cultured meat (CM) is likely to reduce environmental footprints and health problems and improve animal welfare, but its success in the market will rely on consumer acceptance. A survey was used to investigate consumer acceptance of CM in Norway. The survey was conducted pre the COVID-19 pandemic and during the pandemic with a total of 4,683 usable responses. A partial proportional odds model was estimated, and identical coefficients were not rejected for the two periods. Social trust, trust in food authorities, and support to green parties were positively associated with the willingness to try CM but there was no association with trust in food retailers. Respondents who emphasized natural components and food safety were less willing, and respondents who emphasized health, novelty, environment, and price were more willing. Young, male, highly educated, urban, non-religious, non-vegetarian supporters of green parties were also more willing to try CM, and marketing activities should target these groups.

Rapporten presenterer resultater fra en spørreundersøkelse om nordnorske kommuners arbeid med næringsutvikling i jordbruket. Spørreundersøkelsen ble gjennomført våren 2023 og var rettet mot ansatte i nordnorske kommuner med tilknytning til landbruksforvaltninga. Undersøkelsen viser at de ansatte mener at kommunen har en viktig rolle som pådriver for næringsutvikling i jordbruket, og at mange har et sterkt engasjement og ønske om å utføre næringsrettet arbeid. Mangel på ressurser i kommunen er den største utfordringen for arbeidet med næringsutvikling, noe som går ut over de ansattes kapasitet og mulighet til å prioritere dette arbeidet. Tiltak som kan bidra til å styrke kommunens arbeid med næringsutvikling inkluderer å bedre økonomien i jordbruksnæringa, sikre tilstrekkelig ressurser i kommunal landbruksforvaltning, skape gode samarbeidsformer og møteplasser ovenfor næringa, ivareta næringsutvikling i kommunal planlegging, legge til rette for interkommunalt samarbeid, bidra med veiledning og kunnskapsformidling og skape større politisk bevissthet om viktigheten av jordbruksnæringa i kommunen. Flere tema kan være aktuelt å følge opp i vider forsknings- og utviklingsprosjekter, som f.eks. virkemiddelbruk, kompetanse og kunnskapsbehov, næringsutvikling gjennom planarbeid, organisering og samarbeidsformer (internt, mellom kommuner og opp mot regionale myndigheter og næringa), og synliggjøring av hva jordbruksnæringa betyr for næringsutvikling.

The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), originally from the western Atlantic Ocean, has recently spread to the Mediterranean and is now considered one of the one hundred most invasive species in that region. This opportunistic species, known for its adaptability to different temperatures and salinities, negatively impacts biodiversity and human activities such as fishing and tourism in the Mediterranean. However, the blue crab is gaining interest as a potential food resource due to its high nutritional value and delicate, sweet flavor. Its meat is rich in protein (14% to 30%), omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and other essential nutrients beneficial for human health such as vitamins, and minerals. Utilizing this species in the production of new foods could help mitigate the negative impact of its invasiveness and offer economic opportunities. One challenge with this potential resource is the generation of waste. Approximately 6–8 million tonnes of crab shells are produced worldwide each year, leading to disposal problems and concerns regarding environmental sustainability. To improve economic and environmental sustainability, there is a need to valorize these residues, which are an important source of proteins, lipids, chitin, minerals, and pigments that can be processed into high-value-added products. However, especially in areas with industrial pollution, attention should be paid to the heavy metal (Cd and As) contents of blue crab shells. Studies suggest that blue crab by-products can be used in various sectors, reducing environmental impacts, promoting a circular economy, and creating new industrial opportunities.
