NORSØK og NIBIO har gjennom flere år brukt det globale verktøyet SMART Farm til å analysere bærekraft på en rekke norske gårder i ulike forskningsprosjekt. En grundig sammenligning mellom SMART Farm og KSL viste stor grad av overlapp (Eiter m.fl. 2025) på mange områder innen blant annet dyrevelferd, helse, miljø og sikkerhet, produktkvalitet, bruk og håndtering av gjødsel og plantevernmidler, kildesortering og håndtering av avfall. Bøndene som driver i henhold til KSL oppnår derfor gode resultater innen disse områdene. Samsvaret mellom de to systemene bekrefter den høye graden av tillit som norsk matproduksjon har blant forbrukere. SMART Farm inneholder en del viktige indikatorer for bærekraft som ikke fanges opp av KSL. Dette handler i stor grad om sosial og økonomisk bærekraft, som blant annet lønnsomhet, arbeidsmengde, ferie og fritid, rekruttering, økonomisk sikkerhet ved sykdom, bondens dugnadsinnsats i lokalsamfunnet og bondens bidrag til å skape arbeidsplasser.

Central Oregon is a major global producer of hybrid carrot seeds, growing up to 60% of the seed used for carrot root crop production in the United States and 40% of the hybrid carrot seed planted throughout the world. In carrot seed production, optimum seed moisture content (SMC) at the time of combine harvesting is critical for successful storage, cleaning, and further germination of the crop. Moisture-driven seed spoilage is likely to happen in storage for harvested carrot seeds with an SMC above 10% moisture. Besides, as crop residues dry below 10% moisture, combine efficiency degrades progressively, and the percentage of inert materials in the harvested material increases. Thus, carrot seed crops must be threshed below 10% SMC, but ideally not under 8%. Given the importance of SMC at the time of combine harvesting, and the narrow range of acceptable values, the current industry practice is to determine SMC in every field on each day of possible threshing. This process is time-consuming and labor intensive. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of sensing approaches, as an alternative to the oven dying method, to determine SMC in carrot seed production in Central Oregon. In this study, we have collected carrot seed samples and compared their SMC values obtained using oven drying method, a hyperspectral imager, a NIR sensing device. The results indicate that the spectral region between 580 nm (red) and 810 nm (near infrared or NIR) significantly correlates with moisture changes in clean carrot seeds. The NIR sensor developed by the PIs achieved an average error of 1.55% with a correlation of determination of 0.60 for predicting SMC below 20.

Accurate individual tree delineation (ITD) is essential for forest monitoring, biodiversity assessment, and ecological modeling. While remote sensing (RS) has significantly advanced forest ITD, challenges persist, especially in complex forest environments. The use of imagery data is compelling given the rapid increase in available high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery data, the increasing need for image-based analysis where reliable 3D data are unavailable, the widening gap between data supply and processing capabilities, and the limited validation of state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods across diverse real-world conditions. This study aims to advance ITD research by evaluating SOTA instance segmentation approaches, including both recently developed and established methods. The analysis evaluates ITD algorithm performance using the largest forest instance-segmentation imagery dataset to date and standardized evaluation protocols. This study identifies key factors affecting accuracy, reveals remaining challenges, and outlines future research directions. Findings in this study reveal that ITD accuracy is heavily influenced by image resolution, forest structure, and method design. Findings also reveal that, while algorithm innovations remain important, robustness and transferability that ensure generalization across diverse environments are what differentiate method performances. In addition, this study highlights that commonly used evaluation metrics may fail to adequately capture precise performance in specific applications, e.g., individual-tree-crown segmentation in this study. Assessment reliability can be strengthened through the adoption of stricter criteria. Future research should focus on expanding datasets, refining evaluation protocols, and developing adaptive models capable of handling varying canopy structures. These advancements will enhance ITD scalability and reliability, contributing to more effective forest research and management at a global scale.

This paper examines the World Health Organization (WHO) within the broader context of the post-1945 liberal international order. It begins with a brief historical account of the establishment and development of WHO, emphasizing its role as a central institution for global health governance. Particular attention is given to the role of the European Union’s (EU) member states and the United States (US) in supporting the WHO through financial contributions, personnel secondments, crisis assistance and capacity-building measures. The paper then explores more recent developments, notably the US withdrawal from the WHO during the first and second Trump administrations and the termination of key US aid programs. Finally, the implications of this withdrawal are analysed, both for WHO’s operational capacity and for transatlantic relations, with consequences for challenges such as the global fight against HIV/AIDS, antimicrobial resistance, drug and vaccine development and emergency preparedness.
