Analyses of Yield Gaps for the production of wheat and barley in Norway - Potential to increase yields on existing farmland

Abstract

An increase in cereal production in Norway is important for national food security and fulfilling the aim of increased food production. Since the early 1990’s, both reduced cereal area and stagnating yields have been reported. A sustainable yield increase on existing arable land is an important strategy to increase cereal production globally, but also in Norway.
