Denmark launches the world's first national action plan to promote plant-based food
Denmark recently released an action plan detailing its goals for transitioning to a plant-based food system, a first for any national government in the world. It is reported that this is part of Denmark’s climate agriculture plan to reduce food emissions announced in 2021. In addition to increasing exports, there will also be plans to promote plant-based foods in school meals through chef training.
In 2021, Denmark launched an unprecedented climate agreement, arguing that pure plant foods must become "a core element of the green transition." In the plan, the government has allocated 1 billion Danish kroner (168 million euros) to promote the development of the industry, of which 675 million Danish kroner (90 million euros) will be used to establish a new plant-based food fund, and the rest will be used as a support for cultivation. Bonus for farmers producing plant protein crops for human consumption.
Now, Denmark’s new national action plan is part of the 2021 agreement, setting out how the government wants to promote its plant-based industry. The government hopes to inspire the rest of the world in the consumption and production of plant-based foods. Three years ago, the country passed a climate law with emissions and net-zero targets.
Plans from the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries include training chefs in public and private kitchens on plant-based meals and placing a greater focus on plant-based diets in schools and the education system. It also outlines initiatives to expand exports of locally produced plant-based foods through the embassy and increase investment in research and development in this area.
