A People's Perspective on the Green Agriculture and Food Transition and the Green Tripartite Agreement in Denmark

Green Tripartite Agreement, Green Transition, Attitudes and Beliefs

Denmark has recently agreed on the so-called Green Tripartite Agreement that restructures agriculture and land use to fulfill climate and  environmental goals and implement a green transition of the agricultural and food sector. Little is known, though, about what citizens think about these changes, the extent to which they are aware of the multiple beneficial outcomes the agreement promises, and which are the mechanism furthering understanding and acceptance of the complex and interconnected goals of the Green Transition of the agricultural and food sector in general.

This study explores a people’s perspective on the green agrifood transition and the Green Tripartite Agreement in Denmark in two parts: The first part (found in this report) focuses on consumer-citizens views on the green transition in agriculture, and the second part (forthcoming) focuses on consumer-citizens views and behaviour when it comes to the dietary transition. 

This report is an outcome of the project ‘Green Transition Index’ at Aarhus University, Denmark. It is conducted by the MAPP and Land-CRAFT centres and funded by the Business and Social Science (BSS) Faculty, the MAPP Centre, and Land-CRAFT Centre (especially part 1). Part of the funding for the work (especially part 2) also comes from the PlantTip project funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation (see https://www.planttip.dk/). The aim is to repeat the study to track potential changes.
