News from the country

Norwegian strategy for securing genetic resources now in English

In 2019 Norway published the first national strategy for conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources of animals, plants and forest trees. The overall goal is to secure the gene pool for future agriculture and food production. The strategy has now been translated to English and can be found here.

The government’s presentation of the strategy is available at Securing the Gene Pool for Future Agriculture and Food Production - regjeringen.no

The Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture and Food aims to update the strategy when required, and no later than after five years.
