Private bill seeks increased use of Norwegian food in public procurement
MPs Geir Pollestad, Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, and Siv Sætran have introduced a bill to boost demand for Norwegian food through public procurement and private industry. The proposers argue that Norwegian food production is fundamental to the country's resilience, and that public purchasing is a major driver of demand for domestic food products. They call on the government to set concrete targets for Norwegian food use in the armed forces and the wider public sector, and to introduce labelling schemes for food service businesses.
