Sustainability is on the agenda, when the largest trade fair for the food industry, Foodexpo, opens its doors on the 17 19. March 2024 in MCH Messecenter Herning. Among other things, the fair dedicates an entire hall to sustainability, and this arouses enthusiasm among both exhibitors and business partners.

More meat free dishes at the different restaurants at Foodexpo, food organisations collecting food leftovers from the exhibitors, a career day for students with in the hotel, restaurant and food industry with focus on social responsibility and last , but definitely not least, an entire hall by the name 'Nature's Pantry' Pantry'.
It is quite clear that Foodexpo focuses more than ever on sustainability when the fair takes place again in March. A development that is welcomed by the Diet and Nutrition Association of Denmark, Kost & Ernæringsforbundet

- It is important and super relevant that Foodexpo focuses on climate and sustainability, because the agenda is more important than ever, and the potential is large . When green and plant rich food is served in the canteen, the care home, the hospital or in the kindergarten, it both increases health and gives inspiration and increased food courage in all of us and helps to spread greener and healthier food in Danish homes, states Ghita Parry, who is chairman of the Diet and Nutrition Association.

At the same time, she points out that the effort is of great importance for the climate, as food consumption allegedly accounts for 20% of Denmark's total consumption emissions.

- But it requires expertise, time and skills to make both tasty and plant-rich food and to ensure that the right nutrition goes hand in hand with the green and plant-rich diet, says Ghita.
