Organizationally subordinate to the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture and Food, it is autonomous in its research.[1] It was established on 1 July 2006 through a merger of the Norwegian Forest Research Institute (Norsk institutt for skogforskning) and the Norwegian Institute of Land Inventory (Norsk institutt for jord- og skogkartlegging). Headquarters are in Ås, and regional offices are in Bergen, Steinkjer and Tromsø.[2]

The director is Arne Bardalen.

On June 30, 2015 the Institute was merged into the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research.[3]
