In the context of BioCities, the circular bioeconomy has transformative potential in rethinking urban areas, especially using urban, peri-urban, and rural forestry as a nature-based solution. These can be seen as an interconnected forest network providing essential and high-value services, such as health benefits and climate resilience, and sustainable products, principally through rural and peri-urban forests.

Agricultural extension services are integral to technology adoption where they play a key role in delivering relevant agricultural information and technologies to farmers. In China, agricultural extension services are provided through experimentation, demonstration, training, and consulting. In Norway, agricultural extension is focused on collecting, developing, and coordinating agricultural knowledge to farmers. This chapter focuses on why agricultural extension is needed, how it is developed, and what services agricultural extension provides to its clients. It discusses experiences from China and Norway where agricultural extension has led to or is necessary for boosting agricultural productivity, increasing food security and safety, and improving the well-being of farmers.

The SiEUGreen project was implemented to enhance the EU-China cooperation in promoting urban agriculture (UA) for food security, resource efficiency and smart, resilient cities through the development of showcases in selected European and Chinese urban and peri-urban areas. In the last four years, SiEUGreen project assembled numerous existing and/or unexploited technologies for the first time to facilitate the development of the state-of-the-art UA model. In light of this, there is natural interest in whether SiEUGreen’s efforts resulted in meaningful impacts. Hence, the objective of this report is to determine the multi-dimensional impacts of the showcases developed and implemented by the SiEUGreen project. The analysis of the impact of the technologies or showcases implemented by the SIEUGreen mainly relies on the data obtained from other relevant tasks and deliverables within the project (e.g., showcase deployment, market analysis, and deliverables related to technology deployment). The willingness to pay studies use NIBIO’s existing data from a contingent valuation survey for willingness to pay of Oslo residents towards food produced using the target technologies. The report is presented as follows: • Section 2 gives an overview of the implementation status of the SiEUGreen technologies with the current technology readiness levels (TRLs); • Section 3 discusses the impacts in terms of land use, food security, environmental resilience and resource efficiency, and societal inclusion; • Section 4 focuses on willingness to pay studies for UA-related technologies; • Section 5 discusses the results and impact pathways; and • Section 6 provides the lessons learned and recommendations. Overall, our assessment indicates that SiEUGreen has provided a wide-ranging array of impacts in multiple dimensions: land-use, food security, environmental resilience and resource efficiency, and societal inclusion.

Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) scholars often emphasise the distributed nature of innovation, but RRI generally targets researchers or innovators (or their organisations). Can we, within an RRI approach, expect consumers to be more active innovation agents and to be held more responsible for driving innovation in the right direction? To explore this question, we studied the societal challenge of food waste. We designed a study consisting of three world cafés to explore consumer perceptions of their own responsibility to engage with the food value chain to innovate to reduce food waste and complemented this with questionnaires. We found that the consumers in this study conceptualise their responsibilities in a passive way, not using current possibilities for communication with food companies. More open and interactive industry-led engagement processes are needed. This requires building competence and capacity to increase such engagement.

Rapporten presenterer resultater fra en intervjuundersøkelse blant småskala grøntprodusenter i Troms og Finnmark, samt representanter for ulike salgskanaler. Målet var å kartlegge markedsmessige muligheter og utfordringer for småskala grøntproduksjon i landets nordligste fylke. Det er underdekning på potet og grønnsaker i Troms og Finnmark. Produsentmiljøet er lite. For å snu denne utvikling anbefales en satsning på småskalaproduksjon, i tillegg til volumproduksjon. Undersøkelsen viser fremtidstro blant småskala grøntprodusenter, og god markedsadgang. Samtidig opplever produsentene at klimatiske forhold, mangel på produsentnettverk, lange avstander og små markeder, manglende infrastruktur, begrenset innpass i dagligvare, tidspress, lav lønnsomhet og mangel på offentlig støtte skaper utfordringer for næringa. Det er grunn til å anta at særskilte produksjonsmessige (kort vekstsesong og kaldt klima) og markedsmessige (lange avstander og små produsentmiljøer og markeder) som preger landsdelen, gjør utfordringene mer krevende for produsenter i nord enn lenger sør. Rapporten anbefaler at tiltak for å styrke småskala grøntproduksjon i Troms og Finnmark inkluderer å (i) sikre produsentene gode økonomiske betingelser, (ii) tilby veiledning og kurs og (iii) legge til rette for samarbeid og produsentnettverk, spesielt innen markedsføring og salg. Forprosjektet bør følges opp med forskning som blant annet undersøker (i) avlingsvolum og hvilken rolle småskala grøntproduksjon kan spille for regional selvforsyning, (ii) kostnader forbundet med produksjon og salg, samt potensialet for omsetning, (iii) ulike former for produsentsamarbeid og (iv) hvordan nordlig klima påvirker kvaliteten av ulike plantevekster.
