Climate actions by Danish agriculture and food industry
The Danish agriculture and food industry is one of the world’s most efficient food producers, delivering climate-friendly food products to 15 million people worldwide. Through strong cooperation throughout the product chain, the Danish agriculture and food industry strives to make food production even more climate-friendly in the future, while at the same time increasing production in order to meet the growing demand for food.
Climate is an integrated element in the environmental efforts being made by the Danish agriculture and food industry. The farming and food industry delivers not only food, but also energy and non-food products, thereby contributing to sustainable development. Through strong cooperation throughout the product chain, the Danish agriculture and food industry strives to achieve a more climate-friendly food production in the future.
In order to realize this, the Danish agriculture and food industry has a vision.
- We strive to stay among the leading providers of a large selection of high quality food products with the lowest possible climate impact.
- We will make efforts to utilise raw materials and waste products for food, bioenergy and industrial non-food products optimally, and to increase energy efficiency in the food industry through the application of energy and climate-efficient environmental technologies.
We wish to contribute to Denmark becoming independent of fossil resources by using biomass for energy and materials, while improving the fertility and ability of soils to bind carbon.
