Denmark will convert 15% of its farmland into forest and natural habitats to reduce fertilizer usage, which affects marine life, as stated by lawmakers. The agreement is described as “the biggest change to the Danish landscape in over 100 years” by Jeppe Bruus, the head of the Green Tripartite Ministry.
Under this deal, Denmark plans to plant one billion trees and has earmarked 43 billion kroner ($6.1 billion) for land acquisition over the next two decades. Denmark’s three-party government came to the consensus, with a formal vote coming soon.
