Shrinking Danish agriculture

Jørgen Nørgård and Bente Christensen

Agriculture and Human Values, 1989, vol. 6, issue 1, 110-116

Abstract: Danish agriculture is facing a turning point. Centuries of struggle to increase arable land area as well as its productivity is about to be reversed, due to overproduction and environmental problems. Some land will probably be turned back to nature, and the use of chemicals in agriculture in general will be reduced, perhaps with a lower productivity and a better environment as a consequence. This paper mainly describes some of the political actions taken in Denmark to influence environmental-agricultural issues. First, however, some of the recently perceived environmental problems and over-production problems connected with Danish farming are outlined. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1989
