The global food supply is full of challenges and opportunities and in Denmark, the ingredients industry has a record of accomplishment for innovative and sustainable solutions where innovative ingredients are developed in partnerships between companies and universities. Thus, innovation and collaboration has been a key pathway for the Danish ingredients businesses and the companies are known for investing a large proportion of their turnover in research and development. The industry works ambitiously together with knowledge institutions on research to generate new knowledge that can actively be turned into new products to the benefit of a resource-efficient and sustainable production.
The commitment to continuous innovation has made Denmark a frontrunner for ingredient solutions – whether the aim is to reduce the climate impact of feed and food production, make safe and healthy food accessible to all, or meet the nutritional needs of consumers throughout life.
