About ArktiskMat

The ArktiskMat Symposium is organized by Northern Norway Competence Center Food (NKMAT), an independent section under Mosjøen Upper Secondary School for Agriculture and Natural Resources. NKMAT was established in 2021 to congregate and communicate all of the School's and Centre's food related activities.

The Center has three employees who work to develop the region's and the country's food expertise in collaboration with actors such as Nordland County Municipality, the research institute NIBIO, Bodø2024, Samfunnsløftet, Competence Network for Local Food, Arctic Council and the Arctic Economic Council.

In addition we are so lucky and grateful to have a small army of students, teachers, local
partners, "behind the scenes workers” and “foodie volunteers” who contributes to the event!
