Denmark - June 2012
Green Growth
“Green Growth” is the major theme running through Danish Dairy & Food Industry
… worldwide this year.
Political leaders throughout the world work hard to get a grip on the global
economic crises through adherence to tight budgets and savings. However, a
further step out of the crises is Green Growth. By developing new green technologies
it is possible to grow e.g. the dairy and food production to help feed
our planets expanding population in an environmentally responsible way.
Thus, this issue of Danish Dairy & Food Industry includes editorials with various
perspectives on the theme of Green Growth: Developing more efficient
production processes, reduction of CO 2 emissions, increased control of wastes
and other emissions, use of alternative energies such as biogas, wind and water,
energy savings, water recycling and re-heating, use of green packaging and
new optimized ingredient types and analyzes as well as energy-saving hygiene
concepts and environmentally friendly transport systems. The Danish dairy
industry has developed - or is ready to bloom with several green initiatives and
technologies for a more sustainable production - if only the political framework
and economic incentives are present.
A large number of dairy supplier companies, educational and research institutions
participate in Danish Dairy & Food Industry, which this year is introduced
by the Danish Agricultural Minister Mette Gjerskov along with one of
the world’s leading dairy companies, Arla Foods.
