The Danish Agriculture & Food Council represents the agricultural and food industry in Denmark.
It is the result of a merger between the Danish Agricultural Council, Danish Bacon and Meat Council, Danish Pig Production and Danish Agriculture.
The organisation also undertakes a range of key tasks for the Danish Dairy Board. Agriculture and food are Denmark’s largest industry and innovation grouping employing some 189,000 people and exporting agricultural products and equipment to a value of around €20 billion.
Members of the local/regional associations are the foundation of the ‘primary side’ in the Danish Agriculture & Food Council. The personal membership goes through the associations. The associations are responsible of contact with municipalities and other organizations, various activities and professional advice.
