Bioeconomy is based on the utilization and management of biological resources from land and sea. The institute aims to contribute to food security and safety, sustainable resource management, innovation, and value creation through research and knowledge production within food, forestry, and other biobased industries. The institute aims to deliver research, management support and knowledge for application in national emergency preparedness, businesses and society at large. NIBIO aims to be the national leader in the development of knowledge about the bioeconomy.
NIBIO is subject to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food as an administrative agency with special authority and its own board. The head office is in Ås, just outside Oslo. The Institute has several regional units and a branch office in Oslo.
