DANISH AGRICULTURE IS HIGHLY CONTESTED
62 % of land cover
80% annual crops
Long coastline with shallow fiords
EU Water Framework Directive
EU and national climate policies
Groundwater protection for drinking water
Poor biodiversity

innovation programme under grant agreement N° 862674
CARBON CAPTURE IS BASED ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS

HOWEVER, GRAIN CROPS ARE POOR SOLAR COLLECTORS AND LEAVES A
WINDOW FOR NITRATE LEACHING

OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS FROM CONVERSION OF ANNUAL
CROPS TO GRASS, CLOVER OR ALFALFA
Reduced soil erosion
Reduced GHG emission (0.5-3.5 ton CO2-equiv/ha)
Reduced pesticide use (by factor 40-50)
Increased biodiversity
