My interest and background is in science which can be related to human beings in its widest context.
My first university degree was in food technology, where I studied how to preserve food and avoid damages that are dangerous to human beings. I then took a master’s degree in nutrition at the University of Oslo, where I learned about well-balanced food intake and the essential nutrients for human beings. My last degree was a doctorate degree in public health. I have undertaken various research projects related to human health and well-being.
Apart from being one of the leaders of TanzanIce Farm, I have also worked for Ifakara Health Institute, which is a research center in Tanzania. I have been the vice-rector at Bifrost University and am now leading development and internationalization at that same university. I have also been the CEO of the National Public Health Institute of Iceland and the portfolio manager at Actavis, a company producing medicine to treat various diseases. I have also practiced nutrition counselling for many years.



Location
We are located just outside Karatu town.
Soon after you pass the last petrol station in Karatu (on your right) you drive down hill, passing a new restaurant and then a big tree on the left hand side.
A few meters further you see the TanzanIice signboard on your right.
There you turn to the right and drive on a rough road.
There is a water pipe/tab on the way – turn left there and continue for a while until you reach our gate.
The total distance from the tarmac road is approximately 700 m.
