Danish lawmakers have agreed on a deal to plant 1 billion trees and convert 10% of farmland into forest and natural habitats in an effort to reduce fertilizer usage over the next two decades.

    I’m always leary of claims like this as often planting numbers overshadow future community composition.

      The current food production is approximately at 130% of the consumption, so Denmark will still have a net export.

      Of course we also have imports, so the effect will be even smaller in that regard, but it’s nice to know that it’s fully covered in a worse case scenario.

          It’s farm products. I don’t think it’s any better or worse than American farms.

          Most meals are cooked at home and people do expect fresh produce. The milk in stores was tapped the same morning, vegetables are crispy green and minced meat is red. A negative side is that we do have an incredible waste of food here, because people set high standards. Nobody buys anything on the “best before”-date.

          I think the quality of food in USA is very dependent on location, distribution and preparation. Surely there is fresh food in US too, but it won’t be in the drive-thru.
