Call for Funding Proposals:
AgriFoodTure Booster – Accelerating Impact and Implementation of Climate Solutions Towards 2030

Denmark’s Green Tripartite Agreement underscores the urgency of action and the need for solutions that can drive the transition toward a greener and more resilient future. The theme of this call aligns with the agreement by emphasizing the need for accelerating the development of solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the agri-food sector in Denmark towards 2030.

As 2030 approaches it becomes imperative to expedite efforts in GHG mitigation within the food industry and agricultural sector. There are similar challenging deadlines when it comes to other issues such as reducing nutrient loadings to the aquatic environment, enhancing biodiversity protection, and phasing out chemical pesticide use.

The AgriFoodTure partnership invites applications from innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including start-ups, that are committed to translating innovative ideas into solutions and technologies which overcomes barriers for implementation of new technologies and measures that overcome such barriers. This can include addressing uncertainties related to stakeholders and their readiness to adopt new technologies.

The primary focus will be on identifying and supporting projects capable of swiftly and substantially reducing GHG emission by 2030 while simultaneously meeting the above challenges. On the way towards implementation and impact, uncertainties related to stakeholder readiness can occur. To ensure fast implementation, several issues should be addressed, for example:

• Environmental and food safety issues.
• Customer, user, and consumer understanding of and readiness to adopt new products/processes.
• Incentive structures for retailers to offer and consumers to choose less climate-intensive food.
• Regulatory challenges and changes in legislation.
