Circularity indicators and added value to traditional LCA impact categories: example of pig production

There is broad consensus about the importance of moving from linear to more circular food systems. But can we find good indicators to measure the effect of this? In a new article NORSUS researcher Hanne Møller and colleagues discuss circularity indicators using examples of environmental actions in pig production and testing various circularity indicators in comparison

Circularity indicators and added value to traditional LCA impact categories: example of pig production

The impact of NORSUS’ food waste research

As part of a sector evaluation we summarised the impact of our food waste research. Results from NORSUS’ research on food waste has laid the foundation of the current Norwegian policy framework for food waste prevention (the negotiated agreement). It has also impacted the current EU framework on food loss and waste (FLW). The research has contributed to the national and EU definition of FLW, methodology and guidance for quantification of FLW, and identification of FLW hotspots in the food supply chain as well as prevention and reduction strategies which in turn has contributed to an annual reduction in national food waste equivalent to 114 850 tons of CO2-eqvivialents and 2,2 billion NOK.
