The call for proposals on Nordic and Baltic solutions on food security is launched. Proposals must address preparedness and crisis response in food systems, critical infrastructure and/or increased use of Nordic and Baltic produced food.
A call for proposals on food security in the Nordic and Baltic countries is planned to open in June 2026. The intention is to fund up to ten Nordic and/or Nordic-Baltic projects through this call.
Perennial crops like Kernza could reshape agriculture as we know it. In the Nordic-Baltic region, researchers are testing how this climate-friendly grain can deliver both food and feed while improving soil health and biodiversity.
First joint database with data from official plant breeding trials across the Nordic and Baltic region is soon ready to launch. The data helps map where the genes for future crop variations can be found.
The faba bean yields are below their potential in the Nordics and Baltics due to challenges like drought and disease. But with better resistance the protein-rich faba bean could contribute to improved food self-sufficiency in the region.
A research project tackles the challenge of balancing good crop yield and sustainable agriculture in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The project has developed innovative technologies with promising results.
Deconstructing agro-waste derived from mushroom production as if it was Lego and using microbes to rebuild the pieces into something entirely new. This is the focus of a NordForsk-funded research project that seeks to tackle climate changes through Nordic collaboration.
