Project: Sustainable Nordic protein production Nordic Bio-Economy 3 wps Mapping of agricultural Plant production and consumption Policy recomendation Identify key characters to be screened in the NordGen germplams collection Linking results to stakeholders Screening of accession for Nordic protein production Svein Solberg NordGen BSR Nordic Sustainable Protein Production initiative PPP initiative on plant proteins
Mapping project wp1 Present Status How much protein do we produce Agriculture, maritime How much protein do we import Need Animal /fish production, milk and egg Area employed in agricultural protein production Can we reach a sustainable production Future development policy
Agricultural Biodiversity In situ species, population Ex situ In the field Species - Crops Varieties Populations Improved croping systems Mixed crops Higher Biodiversity Decrease risks and degree of crop failure Pest and Disease attacks add losses Variable drought tolerance reduce risk of loss Differential plant protein souces allows optimization of feed mixures
