Norwegian farming is among the most subsidized and protected areas of food production in the world. In a world where issues of food safety and food security are increasingly important, the social responsibility of central actors in the food chain – producers and the main grocery chains – becomes more pressing. As a response, these actors move from implicitly assuming social responsibilities implied in laws, regulations and ethical customs, towards explicitly expressing social responsibilities as a matter of company-specific values. In this paper, we discuss the ethical values expressed in the Norwegian food discourse, and the social responsibility of central food producers and retailers. We go into the case of Tine, a farmer-owned dairy cooperative with market regulator function, and analyse the challenges of Tine in dealing with and expressing their social responsibility.
