To meet the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, we must address the challenge of feeding a growing global population while preserving biodiversity and minimizing land use. Solutions lie in increasing yields on existing farmland and expanding food production in urban and semi-urban areas. Urban environments, traditionally resource-intensive and polluting, must evolve into hubs of circular bioresource use. Biological waste should be seen not as waste, but as recyclable resources. This paper explores how urban food production can be supported by recycling household grey and black water, reducing reliance on costly treatment plants. Black water, combined with food waste, can generate bioenergy in biogas reactors. The resulting digestate can serve as fertilizer or growth media. Research is needed to ensure the safe, circular use of these resources, protecting public health. In parallel, we must develop innovative horticultural technologies – such as rooftop gardens, vertical farming, and wall-based cultivation – using plant varieties tailored for urban conditions. Strengthening local food resilience also involves understanding production in balconies, backyards, allotments, and community gardens. Citizens are eager to learn, and trained urban horticulturalists can guide them. In Norway, we have launched a master’s program in Urban Agriculture, integrating these themes. Students from diverse backgrounds tackle real-world challenges from municipalities and businesses, addressing complex problems that require interdisciplinary solutions, using real-life external cases.

Agrivoltaics, also known as solar sharing or agri-PV, represents a pioneering con- cept that seeks to optimise land use by combining agriculture with photovoltaics on the same land area. While research and development on this topic have increased significantly, few studies address the issue in the Continental Subarctic Climate zone. In this paper, we report on the modelling and installation of a 48 kWp agrivoltaic system at the Skjetlein High School in Trondheim (Norway, lat. 63.34), which is currently the highest latitude system in the World, and we present the initial results of the impacts of the system on Timothy grass biomass. This work takes the first steps towards realising agrivoltaic opportunities for a broad area of Norwegian agriculture.

Assessing forest vulnerability to disturbances at a high spatial resolution and for regional and national scales has become attainable with the combination of remote sensing-derived high-resolution forest maps and mechanistic risk models. This study demonstrated large-scale and high-resolution modelling of wind damage vulnerability in Norway. The hybrid mechanistic wind damage model, ForestGALES, was adapted to map the critical wind speeds (CWS) of damage across Norway using a national forest attribute map at a 16 m × 16 m spatial resolution. Parametrization of the model for the Norwegian context was done using the literature and the National Forest Inventory data. This new parametrization of the model for Norwegian forests yielded estimates of CWS significantly different from the default parametrization. Both parametrizations fell short of providing acceptable discrimination of the damaged area following the storm of November 19, 2021 in the central southern region of Norway when using unadjusted CWS. After adjusting the CWS and the storm wind speeds by a constant factor, the Norwegian parametrization provided acceptable discrimination and was thus defined as suitable to use in future studies, despite the lack of field- and laboratory experiments to directly derive parameters for Norwegian forests. The windstorm event used for model validation in this study highlighted the challenges of predicting wind damage to forests in landscapes with complex topography. Future studies should focus on further developing ForestGALES and new datasets describing extreme wind climates to better represent the wind and tree interactions in complex topography, and predict the level of risk in order to develop local climate-smart forest management strategies.
