Food production in Iceland has changed dramatically since the country was settled. Especially the change has been great since the middle of the century and then again since the beginning of the eighties.
Despite major changes in food production in Iceland since the country was established, Icelanders' food production has always been of great importance to the nation, and at least the importance of production has diminished in recent years, with an increased flow of tourists to the country.
Whether we are focusing on agriculture, fisheries, biotechnology for food production or aquaculture, it is important to consider environmental, animal welfare, public health and food safety when producing food.
