The project is about two types of climate risk in the food sector in Norway, ie agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries. The first is the adaptation to climate politics; the other is sustainable adaptation to climate change.
Because there is little progress in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, both in Norway and around the world, the focus on radical or profound shift is increasing. Such a shift requires extensive changes in how we produce and transport food, but also when it comes to what individuals must do. Therefore, the project will analyze how reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are related to sustainable adaptation to a changing climate. This raises some major questions about sustainability in the food sector related to greenhouse gas emissions, land use, food security, recruitment and a viable agriculture and how one can understand these connections.
