Danish Government Allocates 1 Billion Kroner To Ramp Up Plant-Based Food Production​

Denmark Allocates 1 Billion Kroner To Accelerate Plant-Based Foods

Denmark government has announced it will funnel a staggering 1.25 billion kroner (€168 million) into plant-based foods. This is part of an ‘unprecedented’ climate agreement centered around reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).

And, it is the largest investment into plant-based research and development that the EU has ever seen.

‘Agricultural support must be used actively as a tool to give farmers an incentive to switch to more sustainable production and thus support the green transition in the industry’, the policy states

Specifically, the government has vowed to ramp up plant-based food production. This involves creating new job opportunities and focussing on sales promotions and education.

The government pledges to set up a strategy for ‘green proteins’ both for humans and animals. And, the document states animal welfare should be prioritized.

Thanks for posting this LoreD ... it's one of the biggest solutions we have to getting the human race out of this mess!

Here's some more staggering stats from Anthropocene magazine ...

What if the world phased out meat consumption over 15 years? The numbers are stunning—and instructive.

Such a bold transition would cut anthropogenic emissions by 68% by century-end, and get us more than halfway to achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
