Then, after a short break, she continues with the presentation of her PhD Thesis “Farm sustainability as a sustainability learning process in Arctic Norway” that I was co-supervisor.

Both the trial lecture and the PhD defense will be also broadcasted online: https://uit.no/tavla/artikkel/792605/disputas_-_cand_agric_hilde_halland

Presentation at BIOVALUE GA

Together with Dr. Inger Martinussen we represented the NIBIO research team on the General Assembly for the BioValue Project that took place at MAICh (Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania) in Crete, Greece.

I presented our first deliverables in the project and our plans for the coming work.

This was an excellent arrangement that also offered us the opportunity to learn more of our sister projects Radiant EU, DIVINFOOD, and CropDIVA.
