New research from The Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) shows how robust robotic systems can support both food production and bioenergy in challenging tropical farming environments.

How cycling in urban environments is experienced affects both route choice and how much people cycle – especially among women. Safety and surroundings determine who cycles, where, and how often

In his doctoral work, Hendra Nur Cahyo has investigated how biological differences between cows and different feeding strategies affect methane emissions.

Climate change is rapidly altering Arctic ecosystems, with significant consequences for species dependent on seasonal food availability. In her PhD, Samantha Paige Huset Dwinnell investigates how Sval…

Brown seaweeds produce complex carbohydrates called fucoidans, which play a role in carbon sequestration and show promise in medical and industrial applications. In his PhD research, Diego Sebastian R…

Philipp Philipp Garbers' doctoral thesis argues that raffinose oligosaccharides (RFOs) found in peas and beans should not merely be degraded or removed, but instead isolated and purposefully used as f…
