The food and environment minister, Esben Lunde Larsen, has established a new partnership that aims to promote the global agenda to provide better food for more people.
The initiative was unveiled during the recent World Food Summit in Copenhagen and bids to better engage Danish and international politicians, researchers, companies and gastronomical leaders in order to uncover solutions to global challenges regarding better food for more people.
“With the new partnership, ‘World Food Summit – Better Food for More People’ can reach a level where even more international and influential players can help lift the global agenda,” said Larsen.
The partnership will consist of a number of key individuals, including author Carolyn Steel; the CEO of Nestle Nordics, Michiel Kernkamp; the head of Ikea Food, Michael LaCour; Mella Frewan the head of FoodDrinkEurope; and Selina Juul, the founder of food waste powerhouse Stop Spild af Mad.
