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.
Climate change is making the Nordic Region warmer, and we’re experiencing more intense periods of drought and more extreme rainfall. This not only changes the conditions for agriculture, with reduced quality and new plant diseases, but also provides opportunities for growing new plant species, as researchers behind the Nordic university network point out.
Climate change will affect agriculture and food and feed reliability in the Nordic-Baltic region in several ways. Now, seven new research projects are seeking to make agricultural production more sustainable.
