Bioforsk

The division’s main office is in Ås, but there is also a branch in Svanvik in eastern Finnmark, close to the Russian and Finnish borders, with a specific focus on environmental issues in the Barents Region.

The division also conducts research on such areas as berries, forage crops, lawn grass, small livestock, organic agriculture, precision farming and farm-based rural development in the mountain regions.

The main office is in Kapp in Innlandet County, but there are branches throughout eastern Norway, where, due to natural conditions, most of the country’s arable crops are grown.

The division, which is based in Stjørdal Municipality to the northeast of Trondheim, also conducts research on cereals, berries, vegetables, potatoes, greenhouse crops and bioenergy.

The division has special expertise in the fields of wild berry production, utilisation of uncultivated land and freshwater fisheries.

Saghellinga at Ås – both the administration and the majority of Bioforsk Soil and Environment Division are located here.
