Abstract | According to the Farm to Fork strategy from the European Commission, food systems cannot be resilient if they are not sustainable. Currently, sustainability of the food system is a key challenge, as the food sector contributes to 26% of the global greenhouse emissions, while agriculture uses 50% of global habitable land in addition to being responsible for 78% of ocean and freshwater pollution (1). One aim of the Farm to Fork strategy is thus to accelerate the transition towards a food system with a neutral environmental impact. The national strategy “Food Nation Norway” is proposed as an action plan towards 2030 where multiple aspects such as innovation, economic growth, and public health in addition to sustainability are considered and combined with focus on the sustainable development goals from United Nations (2). In addition, a voluntary agriculture and food sector agreement was adopted to reduce emissions by 5-million-ton CO2-equivalents in the period 2021 – 2030 (3) References 1.
