One of the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), SDG 7, is to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.” This goal addresses the need for environmental sustainability while highlighting energy’s vital role in promoting social and economic justice. It calls for sustainable, affordable, modern, and reliable energy usage for the health and well-being of society while mitigating climate change. Here, we briefly review available literature and data to examine how renewable energy, food security, and sustainability are interconnected in Arctic countries and regions, and how these regions can “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” and progress towards achieving food self-sufficiency by integrating renewable energy sources into food production systems. We analyze several case studies to draw conclusions on how Arctic communities can become resilient, sustainable, and economically prosperous by promoting local food production while preserving cultural practices.

Carrot (Daucus carota L. subsp. sativus) is a major vegetable crop in Norway which is stored up to 9 months in refrigerated storage rooms. Postharvest storage losses—primarily from water loss, respiration, and fungal decay—can reach up to 30 %. This study investigated the effects of different postharvest pre-storage strategies involving wound healing (WH) and temperature adaptation (TA) on mass loss, respiration rate, polyacetylene content, and disease development in four carrot cultivars (Nelson, Triton, Nominator, and Romance) during long- term storage. Carrots were subjected to six pre-storage strategies combining WH at 10 ◦ and various TA regimes (directly to 0 ◦ C or 1 ◦ C (60 % or 95–98 % RH) C reduction/day), followed by storage at 0 ◦ C for six months. Data showed that WH at high humidity, followed by gradual cooling, reduced disease incidence and increased the accumulation of antifungal polyacetylenes such as falcarinol and falcarindiol-3-acetate. Respiration rates were initially higher under WH treatments but did not result in increased total storage losses. Rapid cooling without WH led to higher disease levels, particularly in the cultivars Nelson and Romance. The findings support the implementation of a wound healing period prior to temperature reduction as a strategy to reduce postharvest decay and improve carrot storage quality, especially under commercial storage conditions where cooling rates may vary.
