Soil C–N–P status and potato productivity under organic and conventional cropping systems across five consecutive seasons
An established Estonian field experiment was used to evaluate potato productivity in 2013–2017 and soil properties in the following springs (2014–2018). Seven cropping-system treatments were arranged in four blocks. Soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), ammonium-lactate-extractable…

Exploring animal production futures in the Nordics through efficiency, sufficiency, and consistency: towards integrated sustainability and resilience
The sustainability aspects of animal production are complex, and aligning multiple objectives related to it is challenging. Public discussion related to animal agriculture is strongly dualistic: Prevailing strategies for more sustainable animal production are mainly aiming at increasing the…

Phosphorus and its reactions in terrestrial soils and lake sediments
The P status in some soils and sediments and the fate of P in various sorption and desorption tests was studied. The aim was to elucidate some factors possibly controlling the availability of soil P and the eutrophication risk owing to eroded soil material being carried into surface waters. Also…

The Latvian Seed Savers Movement: A Case Study in Fostering Resilient Food Systems
Latvian seed savers are at the forefront of a long-term, grassroots movement that fosters food sovereignty. They do this by prioritising heirloom crops and actively resisting the homogeneity of stadard agricultural crops. This approach strengthens food resilience by utilising a decentralised…

Perspectives on the production and role of animal-sourced foods with emphasis on dairy in the Nordic food system
Animal-sourced foods (ASF) such as milk and meat include traditionally in the Nordic diet. Nowadays, the share of ASF in the diet often exceeds nutritional recommendations and is challenged by environmental and ethical issues. The quest for a food system that respects planetary boundaries has…

Effect of enzyme-assisted hydrolysis on functional properties of faba bean and oat protein emulsions for fermented dairy alternatives
This study investigated the enzymatic hydrolysis of oat and faba bean protein mixtures and their application in plant-based yogurt analogues. Various process conditions, ingredient ratios, and enzyme treatments were evaluated to optimize protein solubility, emulsion stability, and fermentation…

Evaluation of European hydraulic pedotransfer functions for boreal agricultural soils against Finnish data
Soil hydraulic properties are essential information for sustainable agriculture and environmental management, yet their measurement is time-consuming and costly. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are widely used to estimate these properties from basic soil data, but few have been developed or validated…

Policy intervention areas towards Nordic sustainable food systems
The article builds upon the White Paper on Nordic Sustainable Food Systems: Pathways and Intervention Areas, which was written between October 2023 and May 2024 by eight Nordic researchers belonging to different academic organisations in the framework of an NKJ (Nordic Joint Committee for Food and…

Host by pathogen interactions of six Botrytis spp. causing chocolate spot disease on faba bean (Vicia faba L.)
Chocolate spot (CS) disease, caused by Botrytis species, severely damages faba beans. This study analyzed interactions between three faba bean genotypes with varying levels of resistance and 21 Botrytis isolates from six species that were genotyped using 10 NEP markers. The isolates were cultured…

Growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality and economic outcomes of organic Hereford bulls in a forage-based system on coastal grasslands
Year-to-year variation in animal performance under stable organic forage conditions remains insufficiently understood. To address this, growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and economic indicators were compared in Hereford bulls from two birth years (2022 and 2023) finished under an…

Improved forage quality through more frequent cutting regimes: Impacts on farm economics, domestic feed share, and GHG emissions on dairy farms
Increased forage quality from more frequent grass silage harvesting is often promoted as a measure to improve farm profitability, raise the domestic feed share, and reduce GHG emissions on dairy farms. However, how these effects depend on forage availability and management responses to avoid…

Improved subsurface drainage increased small grain cereal yield but not the soil carbon stock of a boreal clay soil
Removal of excess water by soil drainage is a prerequisite of proper yields in boreal agriculture. A functioning drainage system enables farming operations, maintains yields and improves the environmental performance of a field plot. As carbon input to soils in crop residues increases with the…

Biochar impacts on soil properties - A review focusing on Nordic research
Biochar used as a soil amendment has been reported to influence crop productivity and the environmental impacts of agriculture. The impacts are challenging to generalize, as they depend on regional farming and climatic conditions. We collected and synthesized the scattered research findings from…

Effects of low temperatures on microclimate, clinical status, and behaviour of calves under different housing systems
Objective of this study was to investigate the effects of low ambient temperatures (–14.2 °C) on microclimate, behaviour, and welfare indicators of calves housed in individual hutches located either outdoors under shelters or indoors in a lightweight prefabricated building (indoor vs. outdoor…

The effect of harvest time of ensiled whole crop field pea or faba bean on their composition and in vivo digestibility
This study evaluated the botanical, morphological and chemical composition of pea-wheat (PW) and faba bean-wheat (FBW) whole crop herbages at different harvest times at 2-week intervals in Northern Finland. The herbages were also ensiled in round bales and their in vivo digestibility was measured…

Reduced soil tillage and insecticide use in pollen beetle management on oilseed rape in Finland
Brassica oilseeds are important protein crops for Nordic agriculture. Oilseed production is challenged by multiple insect pests, most importantly the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus). Concerns about pyrethroid resistance and potential harm to beneficial insects demands seeking for alternatives…

Residual phosphorus is a significant pool in soil phosphorus cycling
Sequential phosphorus (P) fractionation schemes are widely used to characterize soil P pools, yet the most chemically resistant forms are often omitted in modern applications of fractionations. We quantified inorganic and organic P in ten predominantly clayic or fine sandy acidic agricultural soils…

A living lab approach to promote sustainable management of agricultural peatlands in Finland
Solution-oriented approaches are crucial for identifying the leverage points to promote sustainable management of agricultural peatlands in Finland. This study used a living lab approach to co-create policy measures and actions to mitigate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from drained…

Building resilient food systems: A resilience assessment framework for food supply
Food supply systems operate in increasingly uncertain and dynamic environments, where disturbances can affect performance and long-term viability. Strengthening resilience is therefore a strategic priority for food security, yet practical system-level assessment tools remain limited. This paper…
