FT Rethink

Denmark’s ambitious plan to boost plant-based foods

In 2023, Denmark launched its Plant-based Action Plan, the world’s first. Danes currently consume three times the recommended amount of red meat in their diet, and the plan aims to create a food system that’s healthier for consumers and the planet itself. The FT’s Susannah Savage looks at how the scheme is being implemented, and the challenges it faces to gain acceptance.


As the world changes at lightning speed, the FT Rethink series explores how to navigate transformative shifts shaping the future, from geopolitics and climate to industry, energy and health. The channel alternates between independent reporting from FT journalists and business perspectives from Lombard Odier.
