At Matís, we work on diverse research and development projects on meat in collaboration with producers and various stakeholders. The goal is to strengthen domestic meat production and promote value creation. Recently, a project funded by the Food Fund and entitled Discection yields and nutrient value of Icelandic lamb meat and organs and was won by Matís and the Icelandic lamb marketing agency.
The project was carried out in close cooperation with the production centers Kjarnafæð-Norðlenska /SAH Afurðir in Blönduós, Sláturfélag Suðurlands and the meat production center of Kaupfélag Skagfirðinga. The project was launched so that it would be possible to provide new and reliable data to replace the 20-30-year-old data that was always relied on and had become obsolete. The lack of new and up-to-date data on utilization and nutritional value led to high marketing efforts for lamb meat and side products both on the domestic and export markets.
In the project, an assessment was made of utilization rates within the meat assessment categories of lamb, but lamb meat is generally classified into 40 categories at the slaughterhouse, and farmers are paid accordingly. In recent years, farmers have carried out extensive breeding work based on data they have collected in a central database, thereby increasing the productivity of meat per sheep by approx. 30%. This means that the types of meat that are most common today in terms of the ratio of muscle and fat to bone are completely different from those that were most common 20-30 years ago. The data that was used on the Icelandic market did not reflect the actual situation of Icelandic lamb meat well enough before this study was started. In addition, there was a lack of new data on nutrient values, as that data was also about 20-30 years old. Such measurements are useful for those who want to justify that the product is wholesome, tasty, has some uniqueness, etc. The third starting point of the study was an examination of whether the meat assessment carried out in Iceland was fair and adequate.
It was considered important that the quantity and quality of the research material would reflect the population well so that the results obtained would be significant and durable. Therefore, 63 carcasses from seven meat grade categories were selected, covering the 92% production based on the division into meat grade categories in 2021. Carcases were selected on three different slaughter days, in two slaughterhouses, in the north and in the south, and the head of the meat grading department at the Food Agency confirmed that each carcass was a traditional carcass in own rating category and not on the category's boundaries.
Measurements were then made of nutrients and heavy metals and updated figures were entered The ÍSGEM nutrient database. The measurements were made on lamb pieces and lamb meat products, lamb offal and other by-products such as liver, kidneys, hearts, lungs, testicles, esophagus, pancreas, spleen, and blood.
It turned out that the lamb meat was so rich in vitamin B12, vitamin folate, potassium and zinc that it is permissible to label these substances as part of the meat's nutrition labeling on packaging. The heavy metals mercury, cadmium, lead and arsenic were not measurable in the meat, i.e. were below the limits that could be safely measured. This limit is very low and therefore the possible concentration of heavy metals is extremely low.
The lamb offal and by-products are rich in iron and selenium, but these substances are important nutrients. In the case of significant quantities, labeling of food packaging is permitted according to the labeling regulations. The heavy metal cadmium was detectable in liver and kidney but not in other samples. Mercury, lead and arsenic were not measurable in the samples, although with the exception that mercury in the kidneys was measurable.
These results from the chemical measurements are truly interesting and give ample reason for improving the labeling of these products and providing information to stakeholders and the public..
Hafliði Halldórsson, manager of the Icelandic lamb marketing agency, and Óli Þór Hilmarsson, project manager at Matís, discussed the implementation and results of the project in new episode of Matvælin, Matís' podcast about research and innovation in food production. It is both fun and informative to listen to these professionals talk about the issue that is clearly dear to them. The podcast is available on all major podcasts and also in the player below.
Important results made available
A large number of people will be able to benefit from the results of this project. For example, all production centers in sheep slaughter as well as processing companies, innovative companies, retailers, farmers who practice home processing and other small producers will receive accurate data that increases efficiency in planning, cost and margin calculations during processing and product price estimation.
Small producers in innovation have a great need for up-to-date and accurate data on the chemical content of raw materials, to confirm the nutritional content and healthiness of their products. The weight of side products in the industry's income base is one of the biggest opportunities of the future, and all data that confirms claims about the purity of products and the high value of essential nutrients are therefore extremely important.
Retail stores, specialty stores, restaurants, institutions and canteens will also be able to use the data to benefit their operations and re-evaluate nutritional content labels. The results are also useful for teaching and research in agriculture, meat industry and cooking.
Sigurgeir Höskuldsson product development manager at Kjarnafæð Norðlenska and Benedikt Benediktsson production manager at SS agree that research on the chemical content of lamb meat is useful when it comes to calculating the nutritional value of meat products produced. For obvious reasons, it is not possible to measure every single product, but it is important to have access to a nutrient database that is up-to-date and with the best possible information. The results will be useful both for packaging labeling and also for marketing purposes.
Ægir Friðriksson, Head of Culinary Arts at the College of Education in Kópavogur mentions that in the chef's world not much attention is paid to meat evaluation because production centers and distributors classify the meat, but it is all the more important that chefs are aware of the difference in terms of utilization rate and meat quality. This report provides a good insight into how meat consumption and utilization go together.
María Guðjónsdóttir, professor at the Faculty of Food and Nutrition, University of Iceland mentions that a life cycle analysis of the lamb value chain is currently under review at the university. Higher utilization from lamb meat production means a relatively lower environmental impact per edible piece, especially when considering the environmental impact of the proteins, which are the main consumption component. The analysis shows that the production of Icelandic lamb is on a similar path environmentally as production in other countries. The lamb also has a particularly strong effect on the country's food security, as the sheep need less imported feed and fertilizer than many other animals. Detailed analyzes like those presented in Matís' lamb report are necessary for continued research into both the quality, utilization, and environmental impact of our value chains. In addition, it can be mentioned that HÍ and Matís are part of a pan-Nordic research network that focuses on meat research in the Nordic countries. The results of the report are used in comparative research on the quality and utilization of lamb meat between countries.
On the 20th-21st June, a workshop was held in Düren, Germany, organized by the project BIO2REG, in which Matís is involved. Sustainability consultants at BioökonomieREVIER which works on behalf of the research institute Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, held the workshop "Circular Bioeconomy in practices - Discovering value chains in bioeconomy model regions" on behalf of BIO2REG, in the premises of the paper factory Reflex GmbH & Co. KG.
The workshop was attended by a diverse group of people, including stakeholders in the region, experts in the field of bioeconomy and business owners working in the field of paper production in Europe. The program included both presentations and guided discussions, as well as a visit to the over 150-year-old paper factory and its activities were presented to the guests. The factory specializes in certain types of paper, including document paper, and it is nice to report that certified Icelandic document paper is produced there.

The next day we went on a tour of North Rhine-Westphalia. The hosts were visited and their activities in the field of agriculture and soil cultivation were presented. Another stop on the tour was the village of Morschenich-Alt, which has been largely abandoned for over a decade. The reason for this is that coal was to be dug where the village now stands. Most of the residents therefore sold their homes to the energy company and moved to Morschenich-Neu. Since then, plans for continued mining in the area have been abandoned, including due to protests by climate activists, and now the village is being rebuilt.
Morschenich-Alt is not the only village in the area that had to give way to mining. The Hambach mine was also visited, but it is a huge open pit coal mine that is still in use. There are plans to close all coal mines in the region by 2030. BioökonomieREVIER has the mission of accelerating the green transformation of the region. The project advises companies, farmers and regional authorities on how to transition from an economy based on fossil fuels (coal) to a bioeconomy.

The workshop was a huge success and the participants went home happy. An important debate arose about the effects of transforming regions, not only for the economy but also for society. At the beginning of September, a workshop will be held in Iceland, organized by Matís and the Swedish Research Institute RISE which deals with research infrastructure. Registration for it will soon open, but it will take place on the BIO2REG website and will be advertised on Matís' media. The program will be published soon.
On July 3, Oddur Már Gunnarsson, director of Matís, and Ragnheiður I. Þórarinsdóttir, rector of the Icelandic University of Agriculture, signed a cooperation agreement between Matís and the Icelandic University of Agriculture on cooperation to increase knowledge and improve services in the field of agriculture and food production.
The agreement is about research cooperation in both domestic and foreign projects and cooperation on proposals and special projects for the government in the field of agriculture and food.
There will be cooperation on the development of research infrastructure and expertise where appropriate. Experts from both will be better connected through joint projects. The focus areas where the cooperation will benefit are, for example, sheep breeding, breeding (genetics), new proteins, linking processing and primary production, utilization of by-products, feed, fertilizers, product development and cooperation with consumers. The aim is to utilize each other's specific research infrastructures in order to create synergy in the activities and at the same time to strengthen the operating conditions of the infrastructures.
The work of newly-doctored, doctoral and/or master's students is expected in selected collaborative projects, and they must normally be under the guidance of experts from one or both parties. The parties are working to increase the number of doctoral students in the field of agriculture and food.
The parties emphasize the use of foreign networks in Europe and the Nordic countries, cf. UNIgreen and other partners as appropriate.
In recent years, various projects have been carried out at Matís that involve plastic in one way or another. Sophie Jensen, project manager in a professional group that deals with biological materials, has worked on most of the projects, such as the projects NordMar Plastic and projects on chemicals in eroded microplastics in the seas that were funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers, LuLam Wrap and projects on challenges when packing vegetables that were sponsored by the Food Fund.
There is an urgent need to develop new, environmentally friendly solutions when it comes to packaging materials for food in order to replace plastic, and Matís has worked with entrepreneurs and researchers at home and abroad to find suitable substitutes. More general projects on plastics have also been carried out, for example to define, study and monitor plastics in the environment with the aim of increasing people's environmental awareness and reducing plastic use.
The question is on the website of the Land Conservancy and on the website of the initiative Plastic-free September What is plastic? answered and it states that many people think that plastic is a wonder because it is easy to mold, it is durable and durable. Plastic does not disappear or destroy, but breaks down over time into smaller and smaller units or particles. The production of plastic requires fossil fuel, i.e. oil and gas but those resources are not renewable which simply means that eventually they will run out.
The problem with plastic is not really the plastic itself, but how it is used. Each Icelander uses an average of 40 kg of packaging plastic annually, mostly single-use plastic products. Much of this plastic ends up in the sea, where it causes damage to the natural environment.
Projects that Matís has worked on that are related to plastics are diverse. The NordMar Plastic project was an extremely ambitious project that was undertaken in 2019 and the strategy was to set up a Nordic network of experts in plastics with a special focus on microplastics. There had been a lack of a standard or standardized methods for measuring and analyzing microplastics in the environment. Emphasis was placed on the northern countries, because there has been a lack of information, for example, about where the microplastics can be found, to what extent, etc. The goal was to coordinate actions in these matters in the region and examine what needs to be done and how.
Another major goal was to simply raise awareness of the plastic problem in society. Today, people are beginning to realize that large plastic items in the sea such as disposable tableware, plastic packaging, fishing gear and more are a problem, but we don't see microplastics and therefore don't realize how big the problem around it is. . On the one hand, microplastics are created when larger plastic units break down over time, and on the other hand, they are produced separately and used in various products such as cleaning agents, paint, clothing and more.
Microplastics can be found in everything possible. In water, on glaciers and in the atmosphere. We humans have been shown to ingest the equivalent of one credit card per week due to plastic pollution.
All kinds of events and workshops were held all over the country in collaboration with Landvernd, Oceans missions and other organizations where the goal was to raise awareness about plastic. It was also prepared educational materials about plastic in the ocean for elementary schools, which is used in many Icelandic schools today. The conference Arctic Plastics symposium which has been held in Harpa in recent years is also the result of the NordMar Plastic project.
One product of the project was Instagram page and there were short but very informative and useful videos about how you can reduce the use of plastic in different rooms of your home. There are various solutions already available.
Í the project on chemicals in eroded microplastics in the sea it was investigated whether and in what quantity the substances in plastic that are harmful end up in the marine environment. Two types of plastic were chopped into tiny particles and placed in net bags into the sea for four months. Chemical measurements were made both before the plastic was put into the sea and after it was taken up again, and then it was possible to see the difference in how much of the plastic had come off.
A risk assessment was also carried out, as little is known about exactly which materials are used in different types of plastic. Due to the lack of regulations on plastics, plastic manufacturers are not required to provide this information separately.
Many of the substances found and released from the plastic are carcinogenic or have a hormonal effect, for example on estrogen and thus on people's fertility. It was not possible to draw any conclusions from this study, but it was considered important to draw attention to the fact that these substances are being released into the sea and there is reason for further research.
In the project about challenges in packing vegetables Sophie summed up the current state of food packaging, but plastic certainly has a number of desirable properties when it comes to preserving food. On the other hand, it is important to weigh the advantages and evaluate against the negative effects of plastic use. In the summary, the differences between conventional plastics, organic plastics and biodegradable plastics were examined and various advantages and disadvantages were evaluated. Packaging made of bioplastics is considered environmentally friendly and has become a strong substitute for plastic packaging.
Í final report of the project states that various future solutions for environmentally friendly packaging are on the horizon and a lot of development in this field has been done both in Iceland and abroad. There is a lack of packaging made from Icelandic raw materials and knowledge of material processing for them, but several innovative projects are in the works. There is also a lot of innovation abroad related to packaging made from pure raw materials, and we can mention the development of packaging made from the supporting tissue of plants and algae. Therefore, it is right to pay close attention to the innovations that are emerging.
Sophie Jensen was interviewed in a new episode of Matvælinu, Matís' broadcast on research and innovation in food production. In the interview, she thoroughly reviewed all the major plastic projects that Matís has worked on in recent years, told about what is happening in research on plastics in the world and gave listeners all kinds of good advice on reducing plastic use in homes.
At the end of May was held Young people's dinner meeting, Ungdommens madmøde, in Denmark. At the dinner, the students of the Matvælaskóli Menntaskólin in Kópavogur presented Icelandic food to other Nordic students in food subjects and about 150 Danish elementary school students.
It is an understatement to say that the Icelandic students, Markús Eðvarð Karlsson, Svanfríður Elín Bjarnadóttir and Sölvi Hermannsson, did a great job and the Icelandic dishes were very well received. The recipes and presentation were made under the guidance of Dóra Svavarsdóttir, chef and teacher.
Hvera rye bread with smoked char topped with cottage cheese and parsley, Flat cake taco with diced lamb in malt and Dark brown with blueberry juice and rye bread crumbs was among the dishes served by the students.
The presentation of the Icelandic youth was part of a workshop called Nordic kitchen where young people from the Nordic countries presented food from their countries. In addition to the Nordic kitchen workshop, there were workshops that included taste training and inspiration for healthy meals and snacks.
The aim of the food meeting was to encourage a sustainable food culture among the foodies of the future and to create connections between young people and professionals. The idea was to create opportunities and interest in the next generation of consumers to eat and cook foods that are both healthy and good for themselves and the world they live in.
The conference was held in parallel with the workshops Food at school in a Nordic light. How can food contribute to health, learning and well-being in schools? and analyzed there Dr. Ellen Alma Tryggvadóttir from the University of Iceland, from the experience of school meals in Iceland.
The event Youth madmøde was part of a larger food event Madens folkemøde which has been held annually for the past decade and aims to create a forum for conversation about Danish food culture and the food system. There is a particularly interesting event on the way that is worth visiting and even recording in this country.
Matís took part in planning Youth madmøde but the event was sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers through New Nordic food the project.
The research & networking project Nordic Seals, or "Nordic network on seal populations in the North Atlantic and adjacent waters", led by Matís, recently came to an end. The project was supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers' working group on Nordic cooperation in fisheries and aquaculture AG fisk.The main goal of the project was to establish a network of stakeholders involved in research on seal populations, and those affected by seals in the area. Thereby facilitating and promoting an active conversation between key stakeholders regarding the distribution and socio-economic impacts of seals on the environment and communities in the North Atlantic, including on fisheries and aquaculture.
Seal hunting was an important industry in many parts of the Nordic countries for centuries, as sealers from Norway, Finland, Greenland, Denmark, Iceland, Russia, and Canada hunted hundreds of thousands of seals every year. This industry came under severe criticism in the 1970s and 1980s, when animal welfare began to take a bigger place in the discussion about the exploitation of wild animals. By the turn of the century, seal hunting had become politically unacceptable, which affected the markets for the products and led to the eventual end of commercial seal hunting. Seal hunting in the N-Atlantic has now been almost non-existent for over two decades. But what effect has this change in the exploitation of seal populations had on the ecosystems and the socio-economic landscape of those affected by changes in the size and distribution of seal populations?
Since the Nordic Seals network was established in 2021, it has collected, analysed and shared information about seal populations in the Nordic regions, and their impact on the ecosystem and human society, for example by:
collecting information on seal populations and their distribution in the N-Atlantic, Arctic and adjacent water (e.g. North Sea, Baltic Sea, Skagerrak, Kattegat, etc.),
analysing the possible impact of seal populations on the ecosystem, and studying ongoing initiatives to quantify and assess those impacts,
analysing the effects of seal populations on the Nordic fishing industry,
studying available alternatives to control seal populations, including sustainable utilisation,
identifying and exploring potential products and markets for seal products, while considering barriers such as animal welfare, policy and political correctness, food safety and toxins.
The main results of the aforementioned work can now be seen in the recently published report, which can be accessed here.
Other important products of the project are the following:

In the abstract of the final report of the project it is stated that:
As several seal populations have grown in the North Atlantic, Arctic, and adjacent waters, they have become a controversial topic with fishermen and other stakeholders within seafood value chains who claim that they negatively affect commercial fish stocks, catch, product quality and economic viability of the fisheries. Many scientists and conservationists have on the other hand pointed out the lack of understanding of the functioning of seals in the ecosystem. Although seals are known to feed on commercial fish species, research on their effect on fish size and age distribution of prey populations, as well as stock size, is incomplete. More knowledge on the role and effects of seals in the ecosystem is therefore needed.
As some seal populations still suffer from hunting that took place in the past, decisions on seal management must be well founded. Bycatch of seals is today the main threat to seal populations in many areas, which must be taken seriously.
Depredations and damage to fishing gear and fish farms caused by some species of seals is well documented. The exact ecological and economic impact of these is however largely unknown. There are ongoing initiatives that aim to fill in these knowledge gaps, but results are largely lacking. The issue of nematode roundworms that are parasites causing quality defects in commercial fisheries, which seals play a major role in distributing as hosts, has been a concern for fishermen. Controlling seal populations was in the past believed to be important to limit nematode distribution and therefore considered vital to safeguard the economic viability of the seafood industries in the North Atlantic.
Research show that the seal species in the N-Atlantic and adjacent waters need to eat a biomass corresponding to 4-6% of their body weight per day to sustain themselves. The number of seals in the area has now reached about 14 million individuals, and therefore it is likely that their consumption of biomass is about three times that of human fisheries in the area. But as mentioned before, knowledge of the effects of seals on the ecosystem and commercial fish species is incomplete.
Seals have a long history as an important food source. Seal meat is nutritious and full of important amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. But they also contain food safety threats, such as nematode ringworm parasites, and bioaccumulated trace elements. The import bans on seal products imposed by the US and EU have made any kind of trade in seal products difficult. But as some seal populations grow in certain areas, the question on potential utilisation becomes more pressing. To answer that question there is a need for more research to better understand the role of seals in the ecosystem, and on how to produce sustainable, safe and stable food or feed ingredients from seals.
The SEAFOODTURE project kick-off meeting took place on May 13, 2024 at the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL) in Madrid, Spain. The project aims to use macroalgae biomass for the development of sustainable, high-quality food. The project is funded by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP).
There were 10 partners from 8 countries who attended the kick-off meeting of the project which took place on 13 May 2024 at the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL) in Madrid, Spain.
This is a three-year project that includes 9 work packages in which the following partners participate:
Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), Spain
Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (USC), Spain
On June 5, Matís, together with Austurbrú, held a workshop organized by the European project NATALIE in Reyðarfjörður. At the end of last year, the European project began NATALIE, which Matís and East Bridge are participants in. The main focus of the project is to develop so-called nature-based solutions (NBS). These solutions are intended to respond to the problems caused by climate change. These include the increased risk of landslides, rising sea levels, algae blooms and more.
The goal of the workshop was to introduce the project to the main stakeholders in the area and get their perspective on the possibilities offered by the project. In the case of NATALIE, the stakeholders are all those who have to deal with some kind of challenges related to climate change, and it is therefore a diverse group that comes to the project. There were 11 participants in the workshop and they came from municipalities, companies and institutions in the region. The project NATALIE was introduced to the participants and group work then took place according to the project's standard work method. Work was done on climate challenges, possible nature-based solutions and obstacles that could stand in the way of their implementation. A key point is to get the perspective of stakeholders before starting to implement nature-based solutions. They are experts when it comes to the problems the area is facing and can therefore contribute knowledge that is not obvious to outsiders, for example about the status of operations, proposed solutions and the importance of certain infrastructure.
The workshop went well and it was gratifying to see how active the participants were and willing to contribute so that NATALIE's goals are achieved. The region's economic operators are already aware of the climate-related challenges facing the East and want to increase the region's resilience in relation to them. This great interest in climate and environmental issues among stakeholders in East Iceland is valuable for the NATALIE project, and Matís and Austurbrú look forward to further cooperation.
NATALIE is a five-year project and there are a total of 43 participants, from all over Europe, from Romania to Iceland. The challenges these regions face are different, but they all have one thing in common to do with the water cycle. The project is extensive, but Matís is in charge of research area 7 (i.e. Case study 7) which covers the Arctic. Matís and Austurbrú will, in good cooperation with stakeholders in the region, participate in the development of new NBS solutions in the region. The solutions are developed in collaboration with experts at Exeter University and the Arctic University of Tromsø (UiT).
The project NATALIE is financed by the Horizon Europe program of the European Union under grant N° 101112859.
On the 22nd-23rd In May, the opening meeting of the European research and innovation project took place in Copenhagen BioProtect, which is led by Matís and the Norwegian Marine Research Institute. The project will last for the next 4 years, bringing together 18 companies and institutions from around Europe with the aim of developing solutions to deal with climate change and the human threat to marine biodiversity. The project has received 8 million euros of support from Horizon Europe Europe's framework program for research and innovation and is therefore among the largest projects that Icelandic parties have managed within the framework programs of Europe.
This initial meeting was attended by about 40 key representatives of the participants, together with representatives of the European Union and external advisors. There was a particularly positive atmosphere at the meeting, where everyone involved is excited about the upcoming projects, and among other things, used the meeting to plan the work that will take place in the coming semesters.
Sophie Jensen emphasized the importance of collaboration in BioProtecgt and that all participants meet the expected responsibilities so that the project delivers the desired results
Sophie Jensen from Matís and Julian Burgos from Hafró lead the project
In the main role at the meeting were Sophie Jensen from Matís, who manages the project (e. coordinator), and Julian Burgos from Hafró, who is the scientific leader of the project (e. scientific manager), but together they form an excellent management team for this interesting and necessary project.
Christophe Pamoulie, Hafró's research director, reviews the organization's role in BioProtect.
Sæmundur Sveinsson and Cecile Dargentolle from Matís ensured that there were no technical problems, as well as keeping detailed meeting minutes.
Jónas R. Viðarsson at Matís has the role in BioProtect to ensure that all formal requirements of Horizon Europe are met (e. Administrative manager) etc. regarding contracts, intellectual property, registration of work contributions and costs, etc.
