Danish lawmakers have agreed on a deal to plant 1 billion trees and convert 10% of farmland into forest and natural habitats in an effort to reduce fertilizer usage over the next two decades.
Negatively for sure, although if they choose the worst farmland it might be by a significantly less than 10%. People can decide if the tradeoff is worth it for themselves, I guess.
The current food production is approximately at 130% of the consumption, so Denmark will still have a net export.
Of course we also have imports, so the effect will be even smaller in that regard, but it’s nice to know that it’s fully covered in a worse case scenario.
America’s closest crop that it has 130% of in vast fields?
Bungalows.
America grows bungalows. And while the vast expanse of bungalow fields are expensive to raise and feed, those bungalows are valuable first-food to the fire-tornadoes and seasonal floods.
It’s farm products. I don’t think it’s any better or worse than American farms.
Most meals are cooked at home and people do expect fresh produce.
The milk in stores was tapped the same morning, vegetables are crispy green and minced meat is red.
A negative side is that we do have an incredible waste of food here, because people set high standards. Nobody buys anything on the “best before”-date.
I think the quality of food in USA is very dependent on location, distribution and preparation. Surely there is fresh food in US too, but it won’t be in the drive-thru.
How does that affect domestic food production/supply?
Negatively for sure, although if they choose the worst farmland it might be by a significantly less than 10%. People can decide if the tradeoff is worth it for themselves, I guess.
If you stop doing animal agriculture, food supplies go up about 90%
So this is a very easy problem to solve.
The current food production is approximately at 130% of the consumption, so Denmark will still have a net export.
Of course we also have imports, so the effect will be even smaller in that regard, but it’s nice to know that it’s fully covered in a worse case scenario.

Yeah unlike the American Cheese Whizz fields! /s
We used to watch the cheeto balls tumble across the plains in summer
