Motivating change agents : influences of visioning on human agency for food system transformation
(Master thesis, 2021)Swift transformation of the food system towards sustainability is important to avoid further transgression of the planetary boundaries. Food system transformation requires altering the fundamental determinants of the system. ... -
Novel functional feed based on bioactive compounds from spruce tree (Picea abies) and their beneficial health effects on distal intestine of Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Aquaculture is an important industry that has the potential to stimulate economical growth, create jobs and assisting in poverty alleviation. However, the rapid growth and intensification of this sector has raised concerns ... -
Novel functional ingredients containing yeast cell wall components modulate molecular biomarkers in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) when exposed to acute hypoxic stress.
(Master thesis, 2021)Aquaculture is a continuously expanding global industry, however, some of the major problems associated with intensive fish farming are acute and chronic stressful conditions such as handling, sub-optimal nutrition, ... -
The role of demonstration farms in agroecological transitions : nexus for scaling up and scaling out agroecology
(Master thesis, 2020)Adoption of agroecological farming practices remains low, despite increasing evidence for their socioeconomic and ecological potential. This is regretful, especially in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) where there is a critical ... -
Social farming in France : therapeutic benefits and sustainability of social farms
(Master thesis, 2021)Social farming is a concept that uses agricultural activities for social or therapeutic purposes. Social farms may benefit various target groups such as: young persons experiencing difficulties, the elderly, disabled people, ... -
A study of the gene expression profiles in muscle, liver and intestine of Atlantic salmon fed different omega- 3 fatty acid levels and with red and pale fillet color
(Master thesis, 2022)The economic value of Norwegian salmon production is closely associated with various quality factors of salmon meat like red fillet. Carotenoids are the main pigment in the fish fillet which need to be added to the feed. ... -
The suitability of "the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation" in a European context
(Master thesis, 2021)Agroecology is increasingly being considered to address sustainability issues in current agricultural systems. In order to assess the impacts of this new approach, FAO has developed the Tool for Agroecology Performance ... -
The domestication of Oreochromis mossambicus in a breeding program in Mozambique
(Master thesis, 2018)This study describes the establishment of a baseline and a base camp for the development of a genetic enhancement program for the Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, with the scope of utilising both additive and ... -
Towards pesticide free agriculture in the Pilat Rhodanien, France : a socio-technical systems analysis into barriers and opportunities on a territorial scale
(Master thesis, 2022)This research was conducted as part of the first phase of a 6-year long project run by INRAE called “Be Creative” (2021-2026). The project’s ambition is to study specific agricultural territories in France in view of ... -
Trends in runs of homozygosity and inbreeding in Norwegian Red Cattle before and after implementation of genomic selection
(Master thesis, 2020)Background: Despite commercial breeding being part of the genomic era, routine use of genotype data to govern inbreeding is still scarce. Recent studies have found acceleration of inbreeding rates after implementation of ... -
Using herd-averages of feed efficiency as training data for genomic selection
(Master thesis, 2021)Genomic selection on feed efficiency traits in dairy cows can save more feed costs and result in more sustainable dairy industry. Here we estimate the accuracy of genomic selection regarding dry matter intake in dairy ...
