Denmark will be 100% organic

The plans of the Danish government — intensive work in two directions.





The first is to increase the amount of land occupied by organic agriculture and agriculture sustainable development in two times by 2020. The second is to stimulate domestic demand for organic products.

By the way, with domestic demand for bio in Denmark, so pretty good: organic products account for 8% of total domestic consumption, and export of organic products grew by 200% compared to 2007. The national organic sign learn and understand as much as 97% of Danes.

These figures, however, Danish officials are not satisfied. In the government plan Organic Action Plan for Denmark is 67 points, the implementation of which should lead Denmark to a fully organic reality. For example, land owned by the state, must be cultivated only organic or biodynamic methods.

Government investment and support also will go only to the development of organic production. But what impresses even more is one of the first goals of this plan — 60% of the diet of Danes in public canteens (including kindergartens, schools, hospitals, etc.) must be organic food.

Yes, the Danish government, at its expense, it intends to feed its citizens, regardless of their income and age, organic food. And it's not only the declared goal, is practice.





The implementation of the Organic Action Plan for Denmark is connected ministries and departments in various fields, including the military and education. This is a global plan for a country that wants to become 100% organic.

We can only wish this country good luck and to remind you about the book by Helena Bollesen Danish "to Be or not to be. The experience of Danish agriculture" — read it and realize that organic is not a whim, not marketing and not fun of the oligarchs. This is the reality, at least in Denmark.
