Additionally, Eskild Holm Nielsen, Dean at Aarhus University, who has previously served as deputy chairman of the board, has been re-elected as deputy chairman.
“Since its establishment, AgriFoodTure has truly become a platform for transforming the Danish agriculture and food sector. We bring together all forces from companies, universities, knowledge institutions, and civil society to accelerate the green transition of the agrifood sector, and I am extremely pleased that Peder Tuborgh and Eskild Holm Nielsen will continue as chairman and deputy chairman,” says Anette Engelund Friis, Mission Director of AgriFoodTure.
