Are you a Danish company providing solutions within the agriculture value chain? Then you should join this webinar!

California is the largest agricultural state in the US with a $50 billion industry. The state produces 1/3 of all US grown vegetables and ¾ of nuts and fruits. Meanwhile, the state is experiencing growing challenges with droughts and extreme weather conditions due to climate change. Large focus on environmental regulations where state-level authorities have implemented some of the most ambitious emission reduction targets in the US. Finally, labour costs and shortages are to an increasing extent challenging farmers to recruit skilled workforce within the industry. This creates a demand for new types of climate smart agricultural solutions.

Building on Food Nation’s Insight Report, Ramboll will present a brand new report focusing on the California market and perceptions of climate smart agriculture solutions. In addition, The Trade Council will launch a new platform for 2024, where Danish companies can sign up to activities to learn more about the market fit to their solutions, do’s and don’ts when you start working with the California market and finally give your company a stronger platform and network in California. California is a market that holds great potential for many Danish companies, but deciding to target this market is a major decision, due to its large size, regulatory framework, and the considerable distance from Denmark.

This webinar aims to give you a fly-in to what this market might hold for you and your company and how to navigate and brand yourself within the State’s agricultural sector.

Vær med, når Codex Alimentarius’ verdensomspændende World Food Safety Day for femte gang markeres. Vi ses online onsdag den 7. juni klokken 10-12 med Landbrug & Fødevarer og Food Nation som værter. Vi stiller skarpt på, hvordan samarbejde og risikoopfattelse er centrale fundamenter for arbejdet med fødevaresikkerhed, og zoomer ind på håndtering af kemiske forureninger.

Danske fødevarer er kendt i hele verden for høj fødevarekvalitet og -sikkerhed. Det skyldes ikke mindst det stærke samarbejde mellem forskning, virksomheder, myndigheder og Landbrug & Fødevarer, som giver danske fødevarevirksomheder en unik mulighed for løbende at vurdere, teste og innovere deres produkter og løsninger.

Fødevaresektoren er i hastig udvikling, og som en del af komplekse globale værdikæder præget af konstant forandring og usikkerhed, er det nødvendigt at have opmærksomhed på de risici, der findes på tværs af forsyningskæderne. Derfor er det vigtigt hele tiden at følge de globale fødevaresikkerhedsstandarder. Det gælder også i forhold til kemiske forureninger i fødevarer, hvor rammerne for at mindske forekomsten skal være på plads.

Tilmed dig World Food Safety 2023, og få indsigt i de nyeste erfaringer inden for samarbejde, risikoopfattelse og fødevaresikkerhed ved kemiske forureninger.

Send en mail med navn, titel og virksomhed på mail fvf@lf.dk “World Food Safety Day” senest tirsdag d. 30. maj. Du er velkommen til at indsende input og spørgsmål ved tilmelding. Du modtager et link til eventet tirsdag d. 6. juni.
