NEWS 24 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE October 2024 Skretting Norway's sustainability and public affairs manager Leif Kjetil Skjæveland was appointed as one of nine people who will provide technical and strategic advice to the Norwegian government’s social mission on sustainable feed. The national social mission aims to ensure that all feed for farmed fish and livestock comes from sustainable sources by 2034. According to a statement by the Norwegian government, food security is under pressure due to population growth, increased strain on land and resources, climate change, and more uncertain supply chains. It also emphasizes that the global food systems account for over one-third of current greenhouse gas emissions, with the production of fish feed and livestock feed constituting a significant portion of these emissions. In response to this, the government launched a targeted mission on sustainable feed. Targeted missions are innovative and ambitious projects where there is an identified need for research and development to interact with regulatory and policy changes to solve specific challenges within a given timeframe. The mission is a collaboration between the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Ministry of Health and Care Services, the Ministry of Climate and Environment, and the Ministry of Education.
