The green transition of the agricultural sector is a major topic in the election campaign, and for good reason. The upcoming parliament must contribute to ensuring unprecedented greenhouse gas reductions from Danish agriculture in a very short time, and preferably with a beneficial effect on the global climate.
It is unsustainable for the EU to use large farmland areas to grow crops for energy when the world is facing a growing food crisis. Denmark should work for the EU to suspend the EU biofuels blending requirement and stop meeting the CO2e displacement requirement with crop-based biofuels.
