From Denmark with love: THE FOOD OF THE FUTURE
Join the food industry in Denmark and we will share our knowledge, experience and innovation – let’s work together to create the food of tomorrow.
The Danish food industry is well known worldwide for its strongholds in areas like food quality and safety. Sustainability, organic food, gastronomy, ingredients, innovation technology and the Danish way of collaboration.
The Danish agriculture produces enough food for around 15 million people - three times the population of Denmark; although, the food sector provides almost 150,000 fulltime jobs, equivalent to 5-6% of total Danish employment. The keyword is process efficiency.
We feel strongly about our food and we value healthy, nutritious, natural and high-quality food – with nothing less than great taste.
