Denmark's Pioneering National Plant-Based Action Plan
In a groundbreaking move, Denmark, traditionally a major meat-producing nation, has launched a comprehensive action plan to promote plant-based foods. Backed by a €170 million government fund, the plan aims to reduce the agricultural sector's climate footprint by encouraging the production and consumption of plant-based alternatives. Notably, it includes the establishment of the world's first vegan chef degree, reflecting a significant shift in culinary education. The strategy has garnered support from Danish farmers, viewing it as a business opportunity rather than a threat, and focuses on the benefits of plant-based foods without using polarizing terms like "vegan" or "vegetarian."
