Nordic Reindeer Husbandry Conference 2025, 12-14 February, Alta, Norway

Reindeer Husbandry in an unpredictable future

Abstract

Climate change, increasing land use pressures on the use of land, challenges and necessary adaptation are factors that lead to uncertainty for reindeer husbandry in the future. In collaboration with NKJ (The Nordic Joint Committee for Agricultural and Food Research) and RUF (Reindriftens utviklingsfond), NIBIO (Norwegian Institute for Bioeconomy) invites to a reindeer husbandry conference at Scandic Hotel Alta, 12th – 14th February 2025. The main topics of the conference are climate change and challenges of current and future land use. The conference will be divided into two parts: Part 1 (12th – 13th February) is mainly for researchers and is held in English but is also open to others. Part 2 (13th – 14th February) targets reindeer herders, administration/management and researchers, but others with an interest in reindeer husbandry can participate. Translation will be provided.
