Plant-based action plan
Plant-based action plans are government strategies for the promotion of plant-based food development, production and consumption. As of November 2023, Denmark has such a plan, and South Korea is due to publish its plan in December 2023.[1][2]
Denmark
The Danish Handlingsplan for plantebaserede fødevarer was launched on 13 October 2023 to reduce emissions and complement the government dietary guidelines.[3] It follows a political agreement in Denmark from 2021. The plan includes training to public and private kitchen chefs on preparing plant-based meals, more plant-based food in primary schools and curricula, as well as export initiatives for Danish plant-based food. The plan complements a 1 billion kroner (€168 million) government investment for plant-based startups.[4]
South Korea
The Korean action plan also includes the promotion of plant-based exports, but in contrast to Denmark, includes R&D support with the installation of a alternative food research support centre.[2]
