The consortium, led by Ruralia Institute, University of Helsinki, covers all the major areas connected to sustainable food systems and is made up of eight partners:<br />
• Ruralia Institute/University of Helsinki (UH)<br />
• The Natural Resources Institute Finland (LUKE)<br />
• Consumption Research Norway (OsloMet)<br />
• University of Copenhagen (UC)<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Text på svenska längre ner</em><br />
With this funding opportunity, NKJ wants to interlink researchers in the Nordic region to find solutions on how to sustainably transform the food system.</p>
<p>That transformation is a powerful tool to reach the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). We need to change the way we produce, consume and think about food; a new food narrative that acknowledges systems issues in agriculture – from broken nutrient cycles to biodiversity loss, erosion, fossil fuel dependence and CO2 emissions – interlinked issues that could in part be solved at the regional level.</p>
<p>NKJ encourages networks that relate to aspects of transformation and transition in agriculture and the food system at large to apply for funding. The focus could be either on farms or focusing anywhere from the downstream refinement of agricultural products to upstream innovations and production flows needed to increase primary agricultural production in the Nordic region. The goal is to encourage activities directed to novel tools and improve current production to increase resilience, sustainability and competitiveness of agriculture in the Nordic region.</p>
<p><strong>Call conditions<br />
</strong>Networks should include applicants from research institutions from at least three different countries in the Nordic region.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Each gender must be represented by a minimum of 40% of the participants in the network.</p>
<p>PhD students and young researchers should be included in the network.</p>
<p>Network grants are for two years of activities from August 2022 to July 2024.</p>
<p>Stakeholders are encouraged to participate but cannot be main applicants.</p>
<p><strong>Economic framework<br />
</strong>The amount applied for from NKJ can be maximum 300.000 SEK. The funding should primarily be spent on costs for arranging scientific meetings, workshops and conferences including accommodation, travel and conference fees but could also cover costs for designing policy recommendations based on research findings, write large-scale research funding applications, creating or maintaining databases or websites (excluding hardware) and communication activities.</p>
<p>Networks are expected to co-finance at least 50% of the total budget.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Med denna utlysning vill NKJ länka samman nordiska forskare för att hitta ett hållbart sätt att omvandla livsmedelssystemet.</p>
<p>Den omvandlingen är ett kraftfullt verktyg för att nå de 17 globala hållbarhetsmålen. Vi måste förändra vårt sätt att producera, konsumera och tänka på mat; ett nytt matbegrepp som tar hänsyn till de systemproblem som finns inom jordbruket: från brutna näringskretslopp till förlust av biologisk mångfald, erosion, beroende av fossila bränslen och CO2-utsläpp – frågor som hänger ihop och som delvis skulle kunna lösas på regional nivå.</p>
<p>NKJ uppmuntrar nätverk som relaterar till olika aspekter av omvandling och omställning av jordbruket och livsmedelssystemet i stort att skicka in sin ansökan. Fokus kan vara antingen på gårdsnivå eller valfri nivå i kedjan från förädling av jordbruksprodukter, till innovationer och produktionsflöden som behövs för att öka den primära jordbruksproduktionen i Norden.</p>
<p>NKJ vill uppmuntra aktiviteter som syftar till att åstadkomma nya verktyg och förbättra nuvarande produktion för att öka motståndskraften, hållbarheten och konkurrenskraften för jordbruket i Norden.</p>
<p><strong>Krav</strong><br />
Nätverk ska ha sökande från forskningsinstitutioner i minst tre olika nordiska länder.</p>
<p>Vardera könen ska vara representerade av minst 40% av nätverkets medlemmar.&nbsp;</p>
<p>PhD-studenter och unga forskare ska vara aktiva i nätverket.</p>
<p>Finansiering ges för aktiviteter från augusti 2022 till juli 2024.</p>
<p>Intressenter utanför forskarvärlden uppmuntras att delta i nätverken men kan inte vara huvudsökande.</p>
<p><strong>Ekonomiska ramar</strong><br />
Finansieringen från NKJ uppgår som mest till 300 000 SEK. Finansieringen ska främst gå till att arrangera vetenskapliga möten, workshops och konferenser inkluderande boende, resor och konferensavgifter men kan också användas för att utforma policy.rekommendationer baserade på forskningsrön, skriva större ansökningar om forskningsmedel, skapa databaser och hemsidor och kommunikationsinsatser.</p>
