Norsk Kylling has halved the soy content in its feed from 19 to 10 percent in five years by replacing soy with rapeseed and sunflower. In the future, they will test both flour beetles and flies in the feed. The results can result in both healthier chickens and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
The rapid melting of ice in Antarctica is causing sea levels to rise globally, which in turn affects almost the entire world's population living along the coast. New observations and sea ice shelf models from Norwegian scientists provide us with better information about the melting of the ice, so that we can prepare for climate change.
With support from the Research Council of Norway, Fount has developed a new charging solution that makes better use of existing charging infrastructure. This will simplify everyday life for electric cars and contribute to greener transport.
