• Environmental impacts of protein-production from farmed seaweed: Comparison of possible scenarios in Norway 

      Koesling, Matthias; Kvadsheim, Nina Pereira; Halfdanarson, Jon; Emblemsvåg, Jan; Rebours, Celine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07-20)
      As the demand for proteins increases with growing populations, farmed seaweed is a potential option for use directly as an ingredient for food, feed, or other applications, as it does not require agricultural areas. In ...
    • Individuals’ personality and consumption of organic food 

      Gustavsen, Geir Wæhler; Hegnes, Atle Wehn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      This paper adds to the debate on sustainable food consumption by probing the relation between individuals’ personality and choice of organic foods. We make use of the Big Five personality model which consists of the ...
