Read on to learn 3 reasons why Denmark is a global leader within the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
1. Denmark’s tradition for collaboration is a key to success
Surrounded by ocean, Denmark has a tradition for being a nation of fishers and the sector has grown into a thriving hub for wild catch fishing, aquaculture and processing - not to mention the seafood trade in partnership with Greenland and the Faroe Islands. In close collaboration, knowledge sharing throughout the entire value chain and cross - borders dialogue, is a key to Denmark’s success.2. A long track record for innovative and sustainable solutions
The Danish fisheries, aquaculture and processing sector and their solutions will play an important role in securing a reliable and sustainable supply for the future. As a business partner with the Danish Seafood industry, you will be part of the continued work to find better solutions, thereby contributing to achieve the shared sustainability goals on the global feed area.
Denmark’s collaborative approach to research and development fosters innovation and the continued advancements in sustainable seafood production and technology. By engaging in collaborative projects with research institutions and industry partners, companies can gain opportunities that drive forward sustainable practices and contribute to the development of new technologies and market opportunities.
3. The global feed and food supply calling for innovative solutions
The food supply is calling for innovative solutions and the need to protect the environment - both at sea and on land. And Denmark is a major driver of innovation; the Danish wild caught fisheries have reduced its carbon footprint by more than 60% since 1990 and is heading towards the goal of full carbon neutrality by 2050.
“Denmark’s seafood industry has a global reputation for driving fish and shellfish production in a sustainable direction. From offshore fisheries to land-based aquaculture and the seafood processing industry, Danish technology and knowhow continue to lower CO2 emissions and increase efficiency, with no compromises in food quality and safety.”
