Background: Nutrition‟s impact on an individual‟s health and sustainable consumption of food are issues that have long been on both the public and political agenda but are often viewed as two separate debates. This is surprising since many innovation projects in food service systems are concerned with both healthy eating and sustainable consumption (organic food). The relationship between them forms the background in this study. Evidence has shown that caterers serving organic food tend to also serve healthier meals than their non-organic counterparts but, so far, no studies have been carried out in school food environments. Aim: The aim of this report was to investigate and develop appropriate methods for studying the link between healthy eating practices and organic food procurement policies using Danish public elementary schools as a setting. Methods: Based on relevant scientific literature, the Danish Dietary Recommendations, and inspired by other successful studies, a self-administered questionnaire investigating children‟s eating habits was designed. After testing by an Expert Evaluation Panel and Think Aloud Interviews adjustments were integrated. Conclusion: If special attention is given to literacy skills and cognitive development, children in Danish 6th grade classes can be used as respondents in studies of the relation between food procurement policies and eating practice. The study suggests that a Cross-Sectional design is a satisfactory method to investigate the association between organic procurement policies and children‟s eating habits. A variation of a 24-hour Recall study, a Food Frequency Questionnaire and a method developed during the reported study to identify children‟s knowledge of fruit and vegetables may be combined to cover children‟s overall eating habits. The study suggests that representative 6th grade classes at schools with organic food policies can be selected by cluster sampling and matched with corresponding classes at schools without organic food policies, after which the results could be compared.

Kjeksvika-området har flere natur- og vegetasjonstyper og arter som er trua eller sjeldne. Dette gjelder flere typer av kystlynghei, rike enger og rikmyr. Og det gjelder trua arter, der spesielt flueblomst (Ophrys insectifera) har vært i sentrum. Denne orkidearten er klassifisert som ”nær truet” i siste oversikt over rødlistearter. Innen de 13 delområdene for telling av flueblomst i Kjeksvika-området, var det i 2009 hele 1188 blomstrende individer. Undersøkelsene gjennom mange år viser at ca. 70 % av individene av flueblomst blomstrer hvert år, og vi regner med at det finnes nesten 2000 individer i området. Totalt er 159 individer av flueblomst i seks fastruter innmålt og merket i åra etter 1998. Noen individer har gått ut og andre kommet til, og noen individer har vært tilstede fra 1998, og ett individ har blomstret 10 av 12 år. I tillegg ble 30 nye individer merket i 2009 i tre nye innmålingsruter med tidligere einerkratt. Dette det ble ryddet i 2001, og åpen engvegetasjon har på nytt etablert seg der einerkratt dominerte de siste åra før 2001. I områder der det er gjennomført aktiv skjøtsel i form av rydding og sauebeiting, er det en markant økning i antall flueblomst.

Based on national reports from Denmark, Finland, Italy and Norway, describing the school meal systems and to which extent organic food is integrated there, this report identifies differences between the four countries and experiences made with organic food procurement and the dissemination of organic ingredients in school meals. Such knowledge will help to understand the possibilities and restrictions for increasing organic food in school meal systems, and to reveal the room of manoeuvre for public organic food procurement for youth in each country. In the report, similarities and differences of the national school meal systems in general are first discussed, because this context determines the scope of organic food procurement. The history and current situation of the school meal systems, framework conditions of public food procurement in schools (laws, guidelines, control, financing), the structure of the school meal provision and public discourses about school meals are described. Next, focus is set on the use and development of organic food in school meal systems. Some school meal system cases are presented by the amount of organic food used, the arguments for organic school food and challenges and barriers for the dissemination of organic food. Finally, school meal system actors in general as well as “organic” actors such as promoters, decision makers, companies and organisations are compared across the four countries. Summarizing chapters are found at the end of each section of the report. In short, warm meals are served for free to all pupils daily in Finland, and subsidized according to family income to all pupils at least twice a week in Italy. Norway and Denmark stick to a packed lunch brought from home, with additional milk and fruit subscription schemes and a developing additional or complementary meal service especially in Denmark with subsidized prices. Organic food is much emphasised in Italy and Denmark; significantly less in Finland and Norway.

In order to prevent children and young people from becoming obese, healthier eating patterns are urgent. Organic school meals may be an effective strategy to provide healthy food to children. The purpose of this study was to take a closer look into the current status of organic school meal systems in Denmark, by conducting a case study of three municipalities in the Zealand region that have the most developed models for school meals service in this country. These municipalities have for some years introduced organic food for sale in their primary schools, with three quite different approaches. Copenhagen has established a large central kitchen, producing partly organic food that is heated and sold in tuck shops at the schools. Roskilde cooperates with an organic catering company, delivering food to be sold in school canteens. Gladsaxe has part-time employed staff preparing and selling food at each school, and these people are educated about organic food by a municipal coordinator. Based on interviews with key informants in the three municipalities, the report describes the involved actors, interactions among actors, and barriers and future plans regarding an increased consumption of organic food in school meals. Similarities and differences between the municipalities are discussed. The main challenges for an increased consumption of organic food in schools are related to lack of infrastructure in the schools such as kitchens and dining halls, and that the school meal systems developed so far are not well rooted among the pupils, teachers, other school staff and the parents.

The research project “innovative Public Organic food Procurement for Youth” (iPOPY) combines a multitude of national and disciplinary perspectives: a necessary condition for a holistic understanding of public organic food procurement for youth (POPY). One challenge of such a research agenda lies in the integration of diverse results. This calls for an interdisciplinary research approach that facilitates discussion about results generated in different work packages (WP). This report sketches the methodological tool constellation analysis, one of the basic assumptions of which is that technical, natural and social elements and developments are closely intertwined and can only be analysed by taking into account their heterogeneity. Constellation analysis may serve as a bridging concept for the integration and synthesis of project results, which is a task of WP 1. This report presents preliminary results from an explorative constellation analysis of (organic) school meals. In the appendix, a list of definitions with regard to POPY is provided – the iPOPY glossary, which may later be further developed and published separately.

The EU constitutes the main market for Norwegian seafood. Seafood is one of Norway’s main export products. Being a non-EU member, Norway is dependent on an efficient system for ensuring access to the EU market. When the EU developed its common market, differences in Norway’s and the EU’s legal requirements regarding food safety and animal health emerged as a significant obstacle to market access. The trade barrier represented by such different national production and quality requirements can in principle be overcome in three basic ways: mutual recognition, which means that states agree to simply accept each other’s rules; equivalence, which means that that the importing state accepts the exporting state’s regulations because these fulfil the importing state’s regulatory objectives; and harmonisation, which means that different states apply the same rules. Norway’s strategy for facilitating access to the EU’s seafood market is a case of harmonisation through direct adoption of the importing state’s rules. Harmonisation is based on the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) between EFTA, consisting of Norway and two other non EU-members, and the EU. The EEA agreement includes Norway in the EU’s common market in areas that are covered by the agreement. The EEA agreement ensures that EU rules concerning food safety and animal health are incorporated in Norwegian legislation. The EEA agreement thus entails that law-abiding Norwegian seafood exporters automatically qualify for access to the EU market. A major function of the EEA agreement is that seafood quality is verified at a national system level, hence freeing exporters from requirements for quality verification at product level. This means that exporters in EEA countries can ship their products to any other EEA country without food safety and animal health documentation as if they shipped these products within their own country. By contrast, exporters in countries outside the EEA will normally have to provide their products with such documentation in order to access the EEA/EU market. The EEA agreement thus entail that the markets of the importer and the exporter are treated as one. This market integration also means that Norway constitutes the EU’s extreme border against third countries; Norway enforces the EU’s regulations vis-á-vis third countries that export seafood to the EEA/EU market.

Denne undersøkinga gjekk føre seg våren 2008. Tema for undersøkinga var opplæring, kjøp av tenester og hinder for bønder i Hordaland fylke. Hensikta var å kartleggja i) kva gardbrukarane hadde for ønskje til opplæring, ii) kva opplæringsformer som var aktuelle, iii) kva type tenester gardbrukarane var mest interesserte i å kjøpa, iv) framtidig drift, og v) kva gardbrukarane såg som dei største og viktigaste hindringane for å utvikla eigedommen og gardsdrifta. Undersøkinga vart initiert og sett i gang av Fylkesmannens landbruksavdeling i Hordaland. Skjema vart distribuert via fagblad. NILF har hatt arbeid med oppstilling og analyse. Om lag 5 prosent av bøndene i Hordaland svarte på undersøkinga. Interessa for temaa i undersøkinga blant dei som svarte, var høg. Respondentanes alder, kjønn og region vart kartlagt for å kunne gje ei så god framstilling av ønskja som mogleg og for å kunne leggja til rette for tilpassa opplæring. Generelt syner resultata at det er etterspørsel etter opplæring i eksisterande produksjonar. For dei ulike regionane i fylket er det noko ulike ønskje. Ønskja reflekterer i stor grad dei skilnadene i produksjon ein ser i dag. […]
