Green Facts

Burning fossil fuels like oil, natural gas and coal to power cars or generate electricity creates air pollution, which is harmful to the land and the sea and the plants, animals and people living there. Some air pollution is easily visible as haze or smog. Other air pollutants, like carbon dioxide are odorless and colorless and therefore often go unnoticed. But don't be fooled! These pollutants impact our health and our world just as significantly as those that we see and smell.

The market share for organic products are among the highest in Europe and in general the Danish population has high interest environment friendly products.
The economy in Denmark has been developing fast in the last years (2003 - 2007). The unemployment is low and the consumers have been demanding more products - and there has been a dramatic growth in the interest of organic food. Even though Denmark has a high production of organic food it has been necesarry with import of many organic products.

Very early (in the 1980'ies) the Danish supermarkets paid attention to organic foods and still a very large percentage of the organic food in Denmark is sold via supermarkets. Anyhow there is a growing market in the catering sector, restaurants and special shops. In the last five years box scheme systems has become popular too.
