This study examines stakeholder efforts to meet European targets for raw water quality. Key sources of water quality deterioration include fish farming, agricultural activities, partially treated urban sewage, and forestry. Although the forest sector and municipal wastewater treatment facilities have demonstrated progress, fish farming and agricultural sectors remain reluctant to implement effective measures. Economic considerations, level of environmental literacy, and the strength of knowledge networks emerge as critical factors influencing stakeholder actions. Non-governmental environmental organisations prioritise issues other than water quality, limiting their engagement in this domain. Moreover, the dominant role of the Ministry of Agriculture in water management appears to hinder cross-sectorial coordination and progress towards achieving good raw water quality.

Dette kunnskapsnotatet gir en systematisk oversikt over nyere norsk forskning på bærekraftig fôr til husdyr. Notatet er utarbeidet på oppdrag fra Norges forskningsråd i forbindelse med regjeringens samfunnsoppdrag om bærekraftig fôr. Kunnskapsnotatet oppsummerer relevant forskning i Norge siden 2017 basert på vitenskapelige publikasjoner, MSc- og PhD-oppgaver, monografier/bokkapitler og rapporter. Samtidig identifiserer kunnskapsnotatet kunnskapshull. Notatet kan være et grunnlag for videre prioriteringer innenfor forskning og innovasjon for å oppnå mer bærekraftige fôrsystemer i Norge.

Insect farming is gaining increasing attention because of the ability of insects to upscale a variety of waste and by-product biomass efficiently into proteins and lipids. In the European Union and in Norway, the use of insects is permitted in formulated pig, poultry, and fish feeds and more recently for human consumption. However, the European Food Safety Authority has highlighted the lack of data regarding the safety of processing pesticide-contaminated biomass by insects into feed or food products. Secondly, the presence of insecticide residues in plant biomass might negatively affect the growth or survival of the insects themselves. This study aimed to evaluate the fate of the insecticide pirimiphos-methyl (PM) in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, BSF) and yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor, YMW) larvae composting. PM is a dominant pesticide found in relevant insect biomasses. Newly hatched larvae were fed on a standard poultry feed substrate spiked with pirimiphos-methyl at different concentrations: 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg (wet base), under optimal breeding conditions. Poultry feed substrate spiked with methanol served as control group. When the feeding media were spiked with 20 and 40 mg/kg of PM, the survival of both BSF and YMW larvae decreased. Mean larvae mass for both species was reduced with increasing concentrations of PM. PM and 7 compounds were identified in a metabolites/transformation product screen that was aided by in silico predictions. One compound, dihydroxy-PM was uniquely detected in larvae. Neither insect species appears to accumulate PM metabolites, and 90% of PM was metabolised. Results indicate that these insects can be reared on PM-contaminated biomass without risk of PM accumulation.

Agrivoltaics, also known as solar sharing or agri-PV, represents a pioneering con- cept that seeks to optimise land use by combining agriculture with photovoltaics on the same land area. While research and development on this topic have increased significantly, few studies address the issue in the Continental Subarctic Climate zone. In this paper, we report on the modelling and installation of a 48 kWp agrivoltaic system at the Skjetlein High School in Trondheim (Norway, lat. 63.34), which is currently the highest latitude system in the World, and we present the initial results of the impacts of the system on Timothy grass biomass. This work takes the first steps towards realising agrivoltaic opportunities for a broad area of Norwegian agriculture.
