Warsaw, Poland, 12th of May 2026. Danish plant-based policies took the stage at this year’s New Food Forum, where Anders Klöcker, Head of Innovation at the Danish Agriculture and Food Council, shared why Denmark’s farmers support both the Danish Action Plan for Plant-Based Foods and the €170 million Plant-Based Food Grant.
Klöcker emphasized that developing the entire plant-based value chain and creating new opportunities for farmers are essential to the success of the transition. He highlighted that the strong collaboration among Danish stakeholders has been a key factor behind the broad political support for plant-based policies in the Danish Parliament. The New Food Forum is organized by ProVeg Poland.
Following his presentation, Klöcker joined Johanne Jelnes from Danish Plant-Based Diplomacy and representatives from RoślinnieJemy in the workshop “Action Plan for Poland: How to Build a System that Promotes Sustainable Food?”.
The session brought together Polish experts, farmers, NGOs, and other stakeholders to discuss practical pathways for accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable food system in Poland.
The discussions generated concrete ideas, policy proposals, and a shared sense of momentum among participants, strengthening their ongoing efforts to push for dedicated plant-based policies and funding mechanisms in Poland.
Throughout the forum, Denmark’s experience served as a key source of inspiration. The Danish example demonstrated that ambitious public policies supporting sustainable food systems can be successfully developed and implemented through broad stakeholder engagement generating broad political support.
Following the workshop, RoślinnieJemy and participating stakeholders will continue their dialogue and collaboration to advance on their goal of long-term policies that support sustainable food systems and plant-based growth in Poland. Including the work on a Action Plan for Plant-Based Foods.
Participation in the event of the Danish speaker is part of an EU project, which has received grants from the Green Development and Demonstration Programme (GUDP) under the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Fisheries of Denmark.
