Our partnership

Working together for a green, competitive and inclusive Europe

Norwegian Institute for Air Research

 NILU is an independent research foundation. Our research aims to increase knowledge and understanding of processes related to climate change, the composition of the atmosphere, air quality and hazardous substances as well as their effects on health and the environment. Since 1969, our research has contributed to good climate, a healthy environment, and sustainable society. We emphasise open research, open publication, and open-source code. In SmartFood, NILUs main responsibility is co-design and development of IT SmartFood infrastructure and system. In addition, NILU will be involved in measuring impact of the project, including quantitative analysis of CO2 and GHG emissions related to food production and transportation.
