can contribute to less food waste” (Innovasjon kan føre til mindre matsvinn).
She completed her Master’s degree at TIK in the fall of 2017.
Louise Strange is a student assistant at the research group Climate Change
and Sustainable Development, Department of Management Engineering,
Technical University of Denmark. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Geography and Geoinformatics from the University of Copenhagen and is
pursuing an MSc degree in Agricultural Development at the Department
of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen. The topic
of her MSc thesis is the role of climate change perceptions and access to
information and technology among smallholder coffee producers in the
Central Highlands of Vietnam (forthcoming in 2019).
Nhat Strøm-Andersen has a Master’s degree in Science in Innovation and
Entrepreneurship from BI Norwegian Business School, 2013. Her academic interests have since further developed into the field of innovation
studies with a focus on the transition towards a sustainable (bio)economy
under her PhD study at the TIK (Centre for Technology, Innovation and
Culture), University of Oslo. Her doctoral research aims to study actual
and potential value chains and identify sustainable pathways of valorising
organic by- product and side stream resources in the Norwegian food
processing industry. The study examines why, how and under what
condition(s) meat processing and dairy firms are likely to innovate with
respect to the utilisation of animal and dairy by- products and side streams.
Julia Szulecka is a Postdoctoral Researcher at TIK (Centre for Technology,
Innovation and Culture) at the University of Oslo. She holds a double PhD
from TU Dresden and University of Padova, and an MSc from VU Amsterdam. She has also completed the International Course on Resource Efficiency, Cleaner Production and Waste Management at TU Dresden
(CIPSEM). Her research interests include environmental politics, forest
policy, sustainable use of waste resources and the governance of bioeconomy
transitions. She has conducted fieldwork on different forest plantation management modes in Paraguay and Indonesia, and has been a visiting researcher
at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Bogor, as well
as the Universidad Nacional de Asuncion. Her research has appeared in
Forest Policy and Economics, Land Use Policy and the International Forestry
Review. Her current work focuses on food waste regulations in Norway and
local innovation networks as drivers in the bioeconomy transition.
