Through a literature study and stakeholder interviews factors affecting cereal production in northern Norway is investigated. Barriers and possibilities for increased production in the north is analyzed, establishing two main bottlenecks: 1. The economic situation for cereal production and 2.

After the Agricultural Settlement 2021, the scheme with subsidies for climate advice was established as a three-year pilot. NIBIO and Ruralis have carried out an evaluation of this pilot, conducting 18 in-depth interviews with farmers and climate advisors, and two surveys among Norwegian farmers. The results show that support and familiarity with the scheme has increased, but that a third of the farmers do not plan to use this. Subsidies is an important reason for farmers to apply for climate advice. Farmers are satisfied with the climate advice, perceiving it contributed to comprehensive knowledge and increased motivation to implement measures. Advisors state that to reduce skepticism, it is important to communicate that climate measures may have positive impact on farm economy and management without increasing workload or investments. Advisers describe lack of capacity as a barrier to increased use of the scheme. We find that the climate advice measure is expedient, recommending the subsidy to continue, as a voluntary scheme. The advisory capacity must be increased, including advisers from a broader range of productions, and that better and more targeted information about the scheme is required.

Sammendrag

The chapter addresses the impacts of ethics in business’ competitiveness as they are naturally emerging in an embedded firm—i.e., a business organization that is “lifted out” from its market environment and instead explicitly takes into consideration social and environmental factors—e.g., socio-historical capital, environment, local resources, etc. In doing so we adopt the realist approach of the “soft” Polanyian interpretation of embeddedness where business organizations retain their corporate nature and continue to operate in the market economy; embeddedness is then built around the market economy and is expressed on the way the business organization is active in its relevant markets. Capital accumulation and other conventional corporate goals continue to drive the firm’s behavior which is now further impacted by local socio-ecological systems and a greater sense of responsibility and purpose.
