This report contains presentations from the four explorative work packages in iPOPY. The iPOPY project –innovative Public Organic food Procurement for Youth – is one of eight transnational research programs initiated by the 11 European countries participating in the CORE Organic I funding body network. iPOPY aims at increasing the consumption of organic food among young people, especially in school meal settings but also elsewhere, e.g. at music festivals. We work towards this goal by studying how organic food as well as the organic concept in general has been introduced in public food serving settings in various countries, and what may be the most promising approaches. Italy, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Germany are the countries being studied. The iPOPY work packages explore policy issues, supply chain organization and the impact of certification, the users’ perceptions and participation in the food system, and the health impacts of organic food implementation. By June 2010, iPOPY will be completed. Hence, this report is linked to the last iPOPY seminar arranged during the BioFach Trade Fair in Nuremberg, Germany. We arranged similar seminars also in 2008 and 2009. These seminars presented the situation with respect to organic school meals in many different European countries (2008) and in more detail in iPOPY countries as well as some relevant cases (2009). Proceedingsare available from the 2009 seminar (Nölting et al 2009), and all presentations from the 2008 seminar arefound on the iPOPY website, www.ipopy.coreportal.org. In the seminar in 2010, we will draw a link from iPOPY results to the municipality of Nuremberg, which has ambitious aims as to becoming an Organic Model City (BioModellstadt). This includes far reaching goals for the share of organic and regional food served in public schools and kindergartens. Further, the project results will be linked to the general situation for school meals in Europe. For this presentation, no written paper is available, but we will present the slides on the website. From the project we present preliminary recommendations and conclusions from the four explorative work packages. Our final recommendations will focus on school meal systems. In short; these systems are complex constellations composed of heterogeneous elements and are very specific, context and path-dependent. Any intervention has to take into consideration several perspectives which can be divided roughly into a supply side and a demand side, both including political, economical, environmental, social, cultural, and health aspects. Organic food is an important option to make school meal systems more sustainable. In school meal settings, organic food can be linked up with several aspects such as health, environment and fairness. Hence, we suggest to link organic school meals systematically with the broader goal of sustainable nutrition for youth. Furthermore, we suggest embedding organic food in a whole school approach which strives for coherence of the school"s policies and practices. This should include all stakeholders of the food chain – organic producers, caterers, school administration, teachers and pupils in a participatory and action-oriented approach. The (revised) curriculum for food education, the pupils" concept of health, the health and food policy of the school, and the physical and social environment of the school arefurther important factors in a whole school approach.

In October 2007, the municipality of Trondheim, Norway decided to increase the public consumption of organic food. The share of public schools and kindergartens offering organic food should be increased by 20 % within 2011, as compared to 2007. Trondheim has for several years had an ambitious aim to increase the consciousness among children and youth about environmental issues, and the project “Children‟s Green City” had been an important tool in this work. The decision made it relevant for the research project “innovative Public Organic food Procurement for Youth” (iPOPY) to use Trondheim as a research case. This report describes the background for the municipal decision about organic food, and what has been done to implement it. Several employees in the municipality and other stakeholders have been interviewed. Even if the decision puts up a quite modest goal, there are several challenges to achieve it. The point of departure (how much organic food was served by kindergartens and schools in 2007) is unknown, and hence the progress is difficult to measure. In the public purchasing agreement, the municipality has obliged its appointed wholesaler to offer organic products. The intention was that the units (e.g. schools) would get easier access to organic food, and that the demand would increase, making it possible for more local farmers to convert to organic. Purchasing agreements are an important tool, but they have to be carefully designed and developed with time. The largest challenge to achieve the organic goal in Trondheim is to motivate actors who may influence the purchase of food, and to anchor the intentions in the decision in such a large organisation as the municipality is. A committed and continuous effort is required. Education and training of staff in charge of food serving in schools and kindergartens is a fruitful strategy, which has been used successfully by Children‟s Green City for several years.

Jordbruksarealene er viktige med tanke på lagring av karbon. Kombinasjon av jordtype og arealbruk er avgjørende for hvor mye karbon som kan lagres. For å ivareta karbon i jordbruksjord er det nødvending at rett tiltak skjer på rett sted.

Overvintringsevna i raisvingelsortar avspeglar i stor grad vinterstyrken til foreldreartane, og i område med snømuggangrep vil spesielt avlinga i førsteslåtten vera korrelert med resistens mot snømugg. Fôrkvaliteten varierer med foreldreartane, og strandsvingelopphav gir høgre NDF og ufordøyeleg NDF (uNDF) samanlikna med andre raisvingelsortar og grasartar.Les/last ned PDF av artikkel og presentasjon under "Les meir" til høgre.

Mørk ringråte på potet forårsakes av bakterien Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs). Det er observert forekomst av skadegjøreren i flere land i Europa.  Siden 2003 har avfallsvann fra potetbedrifter og vassdragene rundt bedriftene blitt undersøkt for forekomst av bakterien. Programmet for overvåking av Rs i vann utgjør sammen med tidligere testing av settepoteter innlevert til statskontroll en viktig del av overvåkningen av mørk ringråte i Norge. I perioden 2003-2009 har i alt 293 vannprøver og 40 planteprøver fra potetindustribedrifter med omliggende vassdrag blitt undersøkt for forekomst av Rs. I tillegg har ca. 2 300 settetpotetpartier blitt undersøkt i løpet av årene 1999-2008. Som i tidligere år ble det heller ikke i 2009 påvist smitte av Rs. Analysene har blitt utført i overensstemmelse med EPPO Diagnostic Protocol for Rs. Ved sortering, vasking, pakking og foredling av importpotet fra land hvor Rs forekommer, kan det være en risiko for spredning av Rs dersom bedriften ligger nær vassdrag som benyttes som vanningskilde for potet. For å opprettholde Norge som et land fri for Rs er det derfor fortsatt nødvendig med regelmessige analyser av vann- og planteprøver. Potato brown rot is caused by the bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) and is occurring in several European countries. Surveys of water, liquid waste and solanaceous weeds have been carried out in Norway since 2003 to detect Rs. During the years 2003-2009 altogether 293 samples of river water and liquid waste from  potato processing companies, and 40 samples of solanaceous and other weeds growing near watercourses have been tested for the presence of Rs. In addition, during the years 1999-2008 around 2 300 seed potato lots have been tested. Rs has so far not been detected in Norway. The analysis has been carried out according to the EPPO Diagnostic Protocol for Rs. Prophylactic annual surveys on water, liquid waste and plant samples taken in connection with potato industry are still necessary to avoid introduction and spreading of Rs in Norway.
