🌱 Agrifood systems account for over a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. With a rapidly growing global population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, and the urgent need to limit global warming to 1.5°C, it’s clear that we must radically transform how food is produced, processed, and consumed. Brazil, as one of the world’s leading agricultural nations, holds a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to drive this transformation. The Brazilian agribusiness sector is not just an economic powerhouse but also a potential global leader in sustainable agriculture. At our meeting, we discussed how technology and innovation are essential in shaping sustainable and resilient food systems, and we agreed that collaboration is key to achieving these ambitious goals. Today, Food Nation had the pleasure of welcoming the Brazilian Ambassador to Denmark, Leonardo Gorgulho Fernandes and Lauro Grott, for a discussion on collaboration opportunities in the agriculture and food sector, with a particular focus on COP30 in Belém. As we approach COP30 in Belém, let’s continue to build bridges and strengthen our commitment to innovation, climate adaptation, and food security for a sustainable future.

Happy holidays from all of Food Nation 🌟   On December 24, Danes celebrate Christmas Eve, one of the most important gatherings of the year.  🎄 Food plays a central role in the festivities. The traditional menu is roast pork or duck with crispy skin, boiled potatoes and caramelised potatoes, red cabbage, and gravy. As a dessert, Danes enjoy "risalamande," a creamy rice pudding with whipped cream, vanilla, and almonds, served with cherry sauce. A whole almond is hidden in the pudding, and the person who finds it wins a prize.  But did you know that Danish products are also a popular choice for celebrations in other parts of the world?  Danish butter cookies ➡️ China   🍪 Danish butter cookies are often packed in a blue tin box which is recognised world-wide. The cookies are enjoyed at festive family gatherings or given as a holiday gift.    Danish pork and meat products ➡️ United Kingdom   🥓 In the UK, Denmark's high-quality pork products are used for preparing Christmas roasts and sausages and Danish bacon is often used in Christmas breakfasts or for making "pigs in blankets", a classic British holiday side dish.  Danish butter ➡️ France   🥐 Classic French pastries such as croissants and breads such as brioche are often baked with high-quality Danish butter and enjoyed by the French at Christmas time.     No matter how you celebrate the holidays we wish you a happy – and delicious - celebration 🍽️   Sign up to Food Nation’s newsletter and gain news and insights from the Danish food cluster in the new year: https://lnkd.in/eaRRzjAg
