Organic Denmark

Almost 10 per cent of all foods sold in Denmark are organically cultivated, which is a world record.

The Danish consumers are the most pro-organic consumers in the world. In fact Denmark has the world’s highest organic share and the most well-developed organic market.

The Danish organic logo is also given to cafees and restaurants that serve organic meals.
