Achieving climate neutral farms by reducing GHG emissions and by increasing farm-based carbon sequestration and storage (IA) Description of the project idea Basic idea We propose to establish a network of European Living Labs, to develop and implement innovations for future farming - heading for climate neutral solutions. From Mid- Norway we contribute with Mære Living lab (green sector) and Val Living lab (blue sector) from the leading innovation district Trøndelag. Mære and Val represent established farms combined with being a unique educational arena where students, researchers, innovators, industrial partners, and farmers participate. We are looking for innovation partners and Living Labs in Europe for joint innovative solutions for climate neutral farms within the green and blue sectors and invite for involvement of students/young professionals as ambassadors for climate solutions. European Dimension Heading for a climate neutral farm transition in Europe requires testing and demonstrating systemic innovations in real living labs. Cooperation across Europe with R&D actors, innovators and farmers will contribute to a wider and quicker implementation of innovative solutions. The Living Labs provide arenas for testing and demonstration of different innovative solutions for different regions and farming systems, including synergies between green and blue sectors. Mære and Val Living Labs are located in Mid-Norway Trøndelag, and represent the Nordic region (climate and production systems). The innovative solutions often meet barriers before implementation. In Norway there is a short distance between research, innovation, advisory service and the end user of the new technology/knowledge, and there is a high degree of trust between the different groups of actors. Norwegian farmers are early adopters of new digital tools, and new knowledge is implemented quite quickly. Across Europe, countries can benefit from implementing and disseminating new innovative solutions for climate neutral food production. Main activities in the project • Establishing a network of farms as Living lab facilities in different climatic zones and sociocultural environments in Europe. • Identifying, developing and implementing (technical, biological and systemic) innovations within e.g. reduced GHG for livestock and crop production, energy solutions for farm buildings and machinery. • Identifying innovations synergies between green and blue sectors (e.g. recycling fish sludge for plant and forage production, biogas from manure and fish sludge etc.) developing and implementing new innovation. • Identifying, developing, and implementing innovations for increased carbon storage for different farming systems. • Using a systemic approach, evaluating root causes and drivers in the environmental, economic, social, and cultural systems of farming, allowing development of innovative technology for successful implementation. • Innovative dissemination of results by e.g. in new digital ways and using students/farmers from Living Lab as ambassadors. Page 3 of 16 Expected results and impact The project's targeted audience for implementation of innovative solutions, pointed out through research and testing, is farmers in agriculture and aquaculture. The ambition of the project is to establish climate neutral farms, by reducing GHG emissions and increasing carbon sequestration and sustainable food production. Active involvement of farmers and young students as ambassadors, in addition to the involvement of regional innovation ecosystems, will contribute to a faster implementation of the project's outtake. Through this project, we seek to facilitate development and piloting of innovative solutions within climate neutral farming across Europe. The project will identify barriers across Europe and aims to enable and develop solutions for the implementation of mitigation and sequestration measures on a diversity of European farms. The project will develop and demonstrate synergy innovations in blue and green sectors for upscaling and industrialisation. This can contribute to recycling nutrients for plant and forage production, reducing the negative environmental impact, improving soil quality, and contributing to protein production. As a partner we represent a Mid-Norwegian consortium consisting of R&Ds, innovators, farmers and the existing Living Labs Mære and Val (agriculture and aquaculture farms for development and education). The partners have extensive experience and competence with cooperating in research and innovation projects linked to climate neutral farms, both on a local, regional, national and european level. The "Agricultural Climate and Energy Center" on Mære is an arena for R&D, knowledge dissemination and various demonstration facilities. The development of the center has taken place in close collaboration with local, regional and national agricultural organizations. The center is financed by the Norwegian state budget, and is recognized as a part of a national research and innovation program Zen (Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods). Mære agricultural school has in many contexts established groups of farmers/gardeners who participate together with the school in the development towards becoming a climate neutral farm. Mære has, in cooperation with the partners listed below, ongoing activities heading for becoming a climate neutral farm, related to the following research areas within energy production: Solar energy, biogas, energy harvesting, bioenergy, zero emission neighbourhood, farming practices, agronomy, precision farming, greenhouse production- energy savings, reduced emission from livestock in farm buildings, manure storage, livestock feeding and breeding, management of peat soil, carbon sequestration, biochar implementation at farm level, catch crops and crop rotations. Val FoU (R&D) has together with Val school ongoing activities inside both aquaculture and agricultural areas. This includes operating aquaculture farms for salmon, macroalgae, farming practices on sea and land (several marine species and livestock farming), green energy solutions and blue-green crossovers as using sludge from aquaculture as fertilizer. Type of partners sought We are looking for innovation partners and Living Labs in Europe for joint innovative solutions for climate neutral farms within the green and blue sectors and invite for involvement of students/young professionals as ambassadors for climate solutions.

  • Healthy Food for All How Do We Make Healthy Diets Accessible and O
    Healthy food for all How do we make healthy diets accessible and o. 39 N affordable for all? ssue I A framework for action 1 Executive Summary More than one-third of the world population is overweight or suffering from hunger,1 proving that our current food system is inefficient and needs urgent transformations. Unhealthy diets exact a high health cost, cause environmental destruction, increase the risk of pandemic outbreaks and lead to massive greenhouse gas emissions and global food insecurity. That is why a shift towards more resilient, healthy and climate-friendly food-systems is urgently needed. This is especially true for countries in the Global North,2 where diets rely excessively on animal-based proteins. Unfortunately, healthy diets are neither accessible nor affordable for more than half of the world population. Governments, the private sector, farmers and consumers must all take action in order to implement transformative and ambitious changes in the food system. A shift to more plant-rich diets and more sustainable agricultural practices is a crucial condition to achieving the SDGs and the Paris Agreement.3 This is only realistic if ample Disclaimer financial incentives from governments and the private sector also are in A United Nations Environment place to help farmers and food producers transition to resilient, healthier Programme (UNEP) publication and more climate-friendly practices. Furthermore, a greater emphasis on series that presents views from providing information and transparency to consumers, so they can make major groups and stakeholders of informed decisions, is crucial to allowing them to play their role in supporting civil society or about issues that are relevant for them.

  • Best Websites in English with Information on Calcium in the Vegan Diet for Latin Americans by Odette Olivares, VRG Intern
    Best Websites in English with Information on Calcium in the Vegan Diet for Latin Americans By Odette Olivares, VRG intern If you are new to veganism, you might have questions about how to be sure that your diet does not lack any nutrient. And, if you are one of those folks who has been vegan for a long time, perhaps you have noticed how knowledge about the vegan diet has been evolving and gaining ground. When looking for information about veganism on the internet, there is always the question of whether it is reliable or not. And after reading many different versions, it is normal to feel overwhelmed, trying to decipher which is the accurate information we need. If we add to this, living in a different country from ours with a different culture and gastronomy, the change to veganism can become a much greater challenge. For these reasons, in this article you will find a selection of what I think are the best websites that provide information about calcium in the vegan diet. These 24 sites were selected from a total of 66 websites, including YouTube channels. This selection is aimed at the Latin American population born in the United States, who feel more comfortable using English, but who want to preserve their gastronomic traditions. Some of these sites also present their information in Spanish, but if you are looking for websites mainly written in Spanish (or Portuguese), you may prefer to look at the article about Best Latin American Websites with Information on Calcium in the Vegan Diet at vrg.org.

Dissertation Advisor: Michèle Lamont Author: Nina Gheihman Veganized: How Cultural Entrepreneurs Mainstreamed a Movement Abstract In the last few years, veganism transformed from a marginalized animal rights movement into a mainstream lifestyle. This shift occurred through the promotional work of change agents called cultural entrepreneurs. Drawing on over 150 interviews with these movement leaders, I describe three archetypes that emerged inductively from the analysis: Icons (image entrepreneurs), Informers (knowledge entrepreneurs), and Innovators (market entrepreneurs). Collectively, cultural entrepreneurs sacrifice ideological purity in pursuit of popularity. However, they are both enabled and constrained by the national contexts in which they are embedded. I compare the United States with two “shadow cases” that represent barriers to (France) and openings for (Israel) cultural diffusion.
