Event type: Physical

Join us at COP27 at the Danish Pavilion: ‘Steering the green transition in agriculture and food production –  How innovative solutions can both ensure safe and nutritious food and be part of the solution to address the climate crisis’. At the side event, you will meet leading high-level profiles from the Danish and international agricultural and food scene. 

Climate change, climate variability, and extremes are affecting agricultural productivity, food production, and natural resources, with huge impacts on food systems – especially on the African continent.  

A transition to more sustainable food systems is needed to combat climate change effectively. The intersection between food systems and climate is clear, and there is a real need to connect the two. 

Therefore, we must ensure efficient and sustainable food production where everyone, everywhere has regular access to enough nutritious food.  

It is about joining forces enabling us to bring together the best of our joint expertise in supply chains and sustainable agriculture and deliver value to farmers, businesses, and the climate.  

The side event is part of the AIM for Climate Roadshow at COP27. It will showcase how climate-smart agriculture and innovative solutions can empower agriculture and food production to be part of the solution to address the climate crisis and at the same time ensure a safe, nutritious, and reliable supply of food for all.

Fødevareklyngens fremtidige eksport til de globale markeder

Danmarks fødevareklynge bidrager stærkt til det danske samfund, og eksporten spiller en vigtig rolle for vækst og beskæftigelse i Danmark. Fødevareklyngen har nogle markante styrkepositioner, og eksportvirksomhederne leverer sunde og sikre produkter til hele verden. Den internationale efterspørgsel på bæredygtige produkter og løsninger inden for fødevaresikkerhed og ressourceeffektivitet er stigende, og har danske virksomheder en enestående mulighed for at udnytte.

Samtidig er usikkerheden på internationale markeder høj. Vi skal forholde os til markante forandringer på markederne og alvorlige konsekvenser som følge af klimaforandringer og sikkerhedspolitiske kriser. Det understreger vigtigheden i at stå tæt sammen omkring eksportarbejdet.

Du inviteres til en dag i fødevareklyngens tegn med lancering af regeringens eksporthandlingsplan for fødevareklyngen. Efterfølgende afholder Food Nation Branding Academy med fokus på markedsføring af danske produkter og løsninger på internationale markeder gennem positionering inden for bæredygtighed.

Branding Academy: Eksport af grønne landbrugs- og fødevareløsninger

I forlængelse af lancering af regeringens eksporthandlingsplan for fødevareklyngen, inviterer Food Nation i samarbejde med Landbrug & Fødevarer til Branding Academy med fokus på eksportmarkederne Kina, Tyskland og USA.

Hvad efterspørger internationale beslutningstagere, og hvordan kan danske virksomheder positionere sig stærkt?

Branding Academy byder på inspirerende og nye indsigter fra nøglemarkeder samt deling af erfaringer inden for markedsføring og salgsaktiviteter.
