From Denmark with love: THE FOOD OF THE FUTURE
We love food in Denmark! So much that we actually produce three times as much food as we consume.
At the same time, we have a strong focus on getting the most out of the resources that nature provides and we pride ourselves with one of the world’s most efficient and sustainable food productions.
We feel strongly about our food and we value healthy, nutritious, natural and high-quality food – with nothing less than great taste.
