Growing & Permaculture

Andrew McMillion introduces permaculture as a practical design method for growing food with nature, not against it. The session explores how soil, plants, water, biodiversity and human needs can interact to create productive, resilient gardens and small-scale food systems.

SESSION 1 · PRINCIPLES & PHILOSOPHY
🧑‍🌾 Track ANOR
Regenerative Agriculture

Camilla provides an introduction to regenerative agriculture as a way to manage production landscapes according to nature's principles. The talk explores the farmer's role as a steward of complex living systems — focusing on soil health, ecosystem processes, holistic management, and how collaboration, diversity, disturbance, and rest can contribute to more resilient farms.

🌱 SESSION 1 — OPENING KEYNOTE — PLENARY
Past, Future & Present

Karen Lykke takes us into the agriculture of the future through the knowledge of the past. With a cultural-historical perspective on Norwegian agriculture, she shows how old, indigenous practices can be reinterpreted in light of today's knowledge of soil health, microbiome, and regenerative systems. What can we bring back — and what must we think about completely new — to build robust food systems for the future?

SESSION 2
🏡 TRACK BENG
One Health-perspektiv

Julie shows how human health, animal welfare, soil health and ecosystems are interconnected through the food we grow, prepare and eat. Using a practical One Health approach, she looks at how food choices, ingredients, food waste and sustainable kitchens can become part of a larger system change — from farm to fork.

SESSION 2
🧑‍🌾 Track ANOR
NORSØK: Diversity for Organic Food

Sara Hansdotter from NORSØK presents the project Diversity for ecological food, with Reppe Søndre and Røstad Øvre as living examples. The session shows how diversity in operations and production can strengthen soil health, organic food production and robust local food systems.

20 min foredrag + 20 min sofasamtale, med Reppe Søndre og Røstad Øvre som levende eksempler.
