COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – Danish lawmakers on Monday agreed on a deal to plant 1 billion trees and convert 10% of farmland into forest and natural habitats over the next two decades in an effort to reduce fertilizer usage.
The government called the agreement “the biggest change to the Danish landscape in over 100 years.”
“The Danish nature will change in a way we have not seen since the wetlands were drained in 1864,” said Jeppe Bruus, head of Denmark’s Green Tripartite Ministry, created to implement a green deal reached in June among farmers, the industry, the labor unions and environmental groups.
Under the agreement, 43 billion kroner ($6.1 billion) have been earmarked to acquire land from farmers over the next two decades, the government said.
Danish forests would grow on an additional 250,000 hectares (618,000 acres), and another 140,000 hectares (346,000 acres), which are currently cultivated on climate-damaging low-lying soils, must be converted to nature. Currently, 14.6% of land is covered by forests.
The deal was reached by the three-party Danish government – made up of the Social Democrats, the Liberals and the center Moderates – and the Socialist People’s Party, the Conservatives, Liberal Alliance and the Social Liberal Party.
A vote in parliament on the deal is considered a formality.
In June, the government said livestock farmers will be taxed for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country to do so as it targets a major source of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.

If they create food forests and allow animals to graze then it might be good.
You won't be allowed to shoot the king's deer, peasant.
True. One would have to assume it won't be for the benefit of the serfs.
You meant us cricket eaters?
This is not the plan. There is no good intention here.
They buy the land using our stolen taxes, gradually reducing the available farmland, prohibiting any farming on this land to “protect the environment”.
More restrictions put on farming, more of them go bankrupt. These people government “helps” them by buying the farm with our stolen taxes.
Slowly the government controls all land. Have we witnessed this before in history?
These civil servants are degenerate marxist scum.
This is what I suspected. Just making the case that food forests are more practical and less labor intensive than agriculture. But of course it's never about what's best for the people.
Food forests are fantastic way of farming, it’s my plan, modelled on self sufficiency while being kind to nature.
Until BBQ time that is. I’m no insect eating vegan faggot. Beer and steak with mashed potatoes are my idea of luxury dining.

All about food forests vs perennials and how you can make the land valuable.
Apparently, once your fruit trees are semi established and won't get trampled you can have cows grazing. In the meantime chickens, ducks and such. Then there is no planting or digging up. All self sustained.
