Agri-Food & Climate Circle

The Agri-Food & Climate Circle seeks to unite everybody in the international agri-food industry in the strive to reduce the climate footprint. The event will consist of two days of knowledge exchange and networking with international experts, companies, and colleagues who support the green transition.

Climate is high on the agenda all over the world. Across the agri-food industry, scientists, experts, and companies are working hard to identify pathways combining new knowledge, technologies, and strategies throughout the production chain to lower climate footprint while meeting market demands.

In Denmark, we are committed to pushing this development by leading the way in sharing and implementing knowledge from science and research practice. To this end, we aim to facilitate cooperation between agricultural and food scientists, advisers, and processing companies. To support the move from vision to action, the Danish Agriculture Innovation Center (SEGES) in collaboration with other leading Danish universities and companies invite researchers, experts, and decision-makers to the new annual climate conference in Copenhagen: Agri-Food & Climate Circle 2023.

Join the Circle

Sharing knowledge and insights in the field of applied science, new knowledge and well-documented experience are vital to accelerating the implementation of effective initiatives. Therefore, you are called on to participate in the conference and encouraged to submit an abstract outlining your research findings or well-documented experiences relevant to the conference topics.

Agenda

The two-day conference program covers seven topics and combines presentations with panel discussions and debates which creates science and business-based interactions. Find the preliminary program here – the final program is to be confirmed.

Lancering af Regeringens eksporthandlingsplan for fødevareklyngen og Food Nation Branding Academy

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?

This year’s theme revolves around the Danish agricultural and food industry’s strongholds within sustainability and health. We can already now unveil that the Insight Report shows, among other things, that health has become a more important trading parameter among international B2B decision-makers in the four export markets, and that Denmark is seen as a strong trading partner.

But how can you as a Danish agricultural or food company use the results and target your marketing in the four markets? We hope to see you on October 4, where you will get the latest insights into sustainability and health from international B2B stakeholders and knowledge of Denmark’s position as an agricultural and food nation in the four selected export markets: Japan, South Korea, Great Britain and Vietnam.

Facts about the Insight Report

The analysis is based on a quantitative analysis carried out by Epinion for Food Nation in March 2022. The analysis examines Denmark’s image as an agricultural and food nation among international decision-makers. All respondents are in the food and agriculture sector, as either producers, buyers, sellers or in the processing of food products and solutions. The analysis is thus B2B oriented.

This year’s survey involved a total of 803 decision-makers in four of Denmark’s central export markets: UK, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. The study covers topics such as food safety, health, and sustainability. The target group for the image analysis is Danish export-ready and exporting companies and other players within the food cluster who are interested in the results of the analysis.

Programs

2nd of July, Nyborg from 1.00-1.45 pm.

The health of the global population has evolved into one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century with an increasing number of people affected by lifestyle diseases and over 2 billion people not having regular access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food. For the first time ever, the Danish official dietary guidelines has good advices on how to also eat more climate-friendly. Most people might know that eating less sugar, fat and salt and more greens is good for health and vitality. But how do you put together a diet that is better for the climate?

  • 1.00-1.05: Welcome and the burning platform
    Lise Walbom, CEO Food Nation
