Danish Farmers Lead the Way in Precision Agriculture
Indhold fra partner Hvad er dette?
The fast implementation of new technologies in the primary sector shows that a new generation of Danish farmers are now frontrunners in using satellites and drones to obtain a more efficient agricultural production. The results include higher efficiency and an optimised fertilising process.
The Danish agricultural production has always been on the frontline of technological solutions. With the emergence of new agricultural technologies, Danish farmers now use the opportunity to optimise production even more. A 2018 study from Statistics Denmark shows that 27% of skilled farmers in Denmark use RTK-GPS-systems. The system makes it possible to steer agricultural equipment to an accuracy of 1-2 cm. The study shows that especially the younger Danish farmers embrace the new technologies, as more than 29% of farmers under the age of 40 use these RTK-GPS systems.
YOUNGER DANISH FARMERS EMBRACE NEW TECHNOLOGIES, AS MORE THAN 29% OF FARMERS UNDER THE AGE OF 40 USE RTK-GPS SYSTEMS
Drones and satellites for a more precise production
The popularity of technologies among Danish farmers does not just stop at advanced GPS-systems. Recently the Danish agricultural production has started to use drones and satellites too. Whether you use drones or satellites, the technologies can be used to localise specific growth areas requiring attention. It can also be used to optimise fertilising or seed sowing. Whether satellites, drones or GPS-systems, the use of these technologies will enhance water usage, optimise seed sowing, improve output and create food of better qualities.
The rise in usage of technologies like drones and GPS-systems serve as an example of how innovation is a centre piece in the high quality of the Danish agricultural production.

Denmark invests over EUR 90 million in fund for development of plant-based foods
On February 23rd, 2023, the Danish Parliament unanimously passed a law to create the Fund for Plant-based Foods of DKK 675 million (over EUR 90 million). The aim of the fund is to increase the availability of plant-based options for Danish consumers and to make Denmark a leader in plant-based food production. Plant-based foods are more sustainable and environmentally friendly than animal-based foods, and they are often more nutritious as well.
