Rapporten er baseret på interviews med ca. 25 virksomheder af forskellig størrelse og type, der producerer eller sælger plantebaserede fødevarer - både virksomheder, der udelukkende sælger plantebaserede fødevarer og virksomheder inden for animalske fødevarer, der har udvidet deres sortiment med plantebaserede fødevarer. Virkemidler til at fremme produktion og forbrug af plantebaserede fødevarer i Tyskland, Holland og Israel er indsamlet gennem litteratursøgning og analyseret ved hjælp af teori om udvikling af markeder for grønne produkter.Rapporten peger på vigtigheden af at fremme både udbud og efterspørgsel, når markeder for plantebaserede fødevarer skal udvikles og peger endvidere på vigtigheden af at have en bred forståelse af plantebaserede fødevarer - og ikke kun have fokus på produktion af planteproteiner og på produkter, der ligner kødprodukter. Startups og små virksomheder synes at have de største udfordringer for en stabil udvikling sammenlignet med større virksomheder inden for området. Det synes at være svært for små virksomheder at komme at komme ind på detailmarkedet for plantebaserede fødevarer, og de efterlyser en større risikovillighed hos detailhandlen i Danmark. Der mangler fysiske og organisatoriske strukturer, som kan hjælpe startups og små virksomheder med viden og infrastrukturer til innovation, test og produktion samt udvikling af en robust forretningsmodel. Der kan hentes inspiration fra Holland og deres nationale alliance Green Protein Alliance, hvor blandt andet supermarkedskæder spiller en central rolle. Der er i Holland et stærkt fokus på etablering af organisatoriske strukturer på fokus på at udvikle stabile værdikæder for plantebaserede fødevarer gennem etablering af forretningsrelationer mellem små og store virksomheder. Endelig peger rapporten på behovet for forskning inden for forbrugeres oplevelse af muligheder og barrierer for at integrere flere plantebaserede fødevarer i madlavningen og landbrugeres erfaringer med at omlægge større eller mindre dele af deres produktion fra foder til fødevarer.

The Green Protein Network gathers startups, corporates and universities to explore the challenges and possibilities within new innovative green protein sources. The group sets the agenda for the network and we will cover topics like new ingredients sources, consumer insights, new technologies and market trends. Join the Green Protein Network if you want to get inspiration, find new partners, share and gain knowledge and be part of finding new innovative solutions.

Food poses major challenges for European citizens; be it attaining nutrient rich diets or the disproportionate contribution the food system makes to climate change. Currently, food system innovations don’t sufficiently address these challenges, nor do they take advantage of the opportunities and barriers for scaling up successful food system solutions. The FoodSHIFT 2030 project takes departure in the EU Food 2030 Research and Innovation Policy Framework, the EU’s commitment under the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to launch an ambitious citizen-driven transition of the European food system towards a low carbon circular future, including a shift to less meat and more plant-based diets. It does so by creating a framework and efficient mechanisms for maturing, combining, upscaling and multiplying existing food system innovations through the operationalisation of nine citizen-driven FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs and a further 27 FoodSHIFT Enabler Labs to be established in city-regions distributed across Europe.

Soils perform many functions that are vital to societies, among which their capability to regulate global climate has received much attention over the past decades. An assessment of the extent to which soils perform a specific function is not only important to appropriately value their current capacity, but also to make well-informed decisions about how and where to change soil management to align the delivered soil functions with societal demands. To obtain an overview of the capacity of soils to perform different functions, accurate and easy-to-use models are necessary. A problem with most currently-available models is that data requirements often exceed data availability, while generally a high level of expert knowledge is necessary to apply these models. Therefore, we developed a qualitative model to assess how agricultural soils function with respect to climate regulation. The model is driven by inputs about agricultural management practices, soil properties and environmental conditions. To reduce data requirements on stakeholders, the 17 input variables are classified into either (1) three classes: low, medium and high or (2) the presence or absence of a management practice. These inputs are combined using a decision tree with internal integration rules to obtain an estimate of the magnitude of N2O emissions and carbon sequestration. These two variables are subsequently combined into an estimate of the capacity of a soil to perform the climate regulation function. The model was tested using data from long-term field experiments across Europe. This showed that the model is generally able to adequately assess this soil function across a range of environments under different management practices. In a next step, this model will be combined with models to assess other soil functions (soil biodiversity, primary productivity, nutrient cycling and water regulation and purification). This will allow the assessment of trade-offs between these soil functions for agricultural land across Europe.

Reduceret jordbearbejdning er ønskeligt i forhold til det økologiske jordbrugs målsætninger, men det har vist sig vanskeligt at bruge de redskaber og metoder, som kendes fra det konventionelle jordbrug. I FØJO-projektet CARMINA undersøger vi om det er muligt at anvende kamme som alternativ til pløjning i dyrkningen af økologiske rækkeafgrøder. Der er udført forsøg med såning af fangafgrøder på kamme, inkorporering af staldgødning på kamme og efterfølgende dyrkning af kartofler, roer, majs og byg. Foreløbige analyser af jordens indhold af uorganisk kvælstof viser at kammene kan medvirke til at reducere udvaskningen og øge mængden af plantetilgængeligt kvælstof om foråret. Udbyttet af en efterfølgende bygafgrøde var 17% højere efter kamme. I forsøg med dyrkning af majs på kamme er det blevet demonstreret at kamdyrkning giver gode muligheder for at foretage en effektiv mekanisk ukrudtsbekæmpelse. Etablering af både majs og fangafgrøder har imidlertid vist sig vanskelig hvorfor der er iværksat et samarbejde med Forskningscenter Bygholm omkring dette.

På Landbohøskolen arbejder vi med et alternativt jordbearbejdningssystem, hvor man i stedet for at pløje hypper jorden op i kamme om efteråret. Opsætning af kamme hvor det øverste jordlag lægges ind i kammen er en langt mere skånsom jordbehandling end pløjning hvor jorden vendes rundt. I forhold til andre former for pløjefri dyrkning har kamme den umiddelbare fordel, at de giver bedre mulighed for at indarbejde husdyrgødning og afgrøderester i jorden, ligesom de giver bedre mulighed for at bekæmpe ukrudtet mekanisk. Vores foreløbige resultater viser desuden at kamme rummer muligheder for at reducere udvaskningen af kvælstof og øge omsætningen af organisk stof. I det nystartede projekt (CARMINA) undersøger vi mulighederne for at få dyrknings-systemer med kamme til at fungere i praksis. I forskellige markforsøg undersøger vi effekten af at kombinere kamme og fangafgrøder, placering af efterårsudbragt husdyrgødning i kammen samt dybe jordløsninger i dyrkningssystemer med kamme.
