The choir database

Vitenparken has entered into a collaboration agreement with the Kore Foundation. Both foundations work on disseminating research on food, agriculture and the environment. The goal of the collaboration is to make knowledge about food, food production and food quality accessible to even more people.

In the kore database, at www.kore.no, you can find research on food and soil yourself.

In October, we entered into a partnership with the Kore Foundation. The Kore Foundation is a non-profit organization that works for and with the dissemination of Norwegian and international food and agricultural research. One of Kore's main projects is a research database. The Kore database will be kept updated with the latest research, and in addition, we will work on joint events, exhibitions and digital content.

Through our collaboration on communicating research on sustainable food and agriculture, we want to be a national role model for innovative research communication.
-Elise Matilde Lund, CEO of the Kore Foundation.

Living topsoil

One of the first collaborative projects is the cartoon Living Soil . The project is about biological life in the soil, and the goal is to increase children and young people's understanding of the usefulness and value of the soil . Soil conservation is about ensuring that today's population and our descendants have the opportunity to grow their own food on their own soil. Soil is a limited resource, which means that loss and degradation cannot be recovered within a human lifetime. Complex interactions take place in the soil and soil biology plays an important role in determining many soil properties.

Soil organisms have a huge impact on soil fertility, plant growth, soil structure, and carbon storage. Topsoil is also under pressure from housing, industrial, and transportation developments. With the project, we want to create knowledge-based and popular science information about topsoil, which will help more people participate in the public debate about the use and management of topsoil.
