A Nordic cooperating body within agricultural and food research
The Nordic Joint Committee for Agricultural and Food Research (NKJ) is a cooperating body to, and financed by, The Nordic Council of Ministers. The primary objective of NKJ is to strengthen research and innovation systems in the agriculture and food sector in the Nordic countries. A continuous production and supply of knowledge from research is important to realize the sectors opportunities and potential in the future. This will also strengthen the Nordic region’s position as a pioneer in agricultural and food research in accordance with the objectives of the EU’s 2020 strategy.
