Objectives:
The main focus of the NATUROGNÆRING programme is to produce knowledge that supports industrial development based on the sustainable use of forests, coastal zones, and other land and coastal resources associated with the natural environment and areas of cultural significance. The programme’s main target groups are industry and government authorities in the areas of fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, reindeer husbandry, forestry, and nature-based tourism. R&D groups comprise another important target group as these are crucial to realising the innovation potential of primary industry and the production of knowledge oriented toward industry and public administration.
