CHALLENGE
Fragmented understanding of sustainability across agricultural paradigms
TECHNOLOGY
Knowledge building and learning labs across agricultural education
POTENTIAL
Strengthens collaboration and drives sustainable farming practices
Goal
FEAST promotes the sustainable transition of agriculture by deepening the understanding of sustainability as a core value and praxis across paradigms (organic, regenerative, conventional). Through dialogue, FEAST will nurture collaboration on the green transition amongst Denmark’s farming educators and students, to equip the farmers of the future for the sustainability challenges ahead.
Plan
FEAST will map beliefs and experiences regarding sustainability in the Danish agricultural educational and agro-food sectors through a mixed-methods approach. This overview will be used to establish agricultural schools with varying sustainability paradigms as Learning labs to improve the embeddedness of sustainability throughout the agricultural educational sector. Throughout the project, results are communicated nationally and internationally to relevant actors through reports, conferences, articles, social media, podcasts, etc.
Expected results
FEAST will promote sustainability practices across the agricultural sector and help bridge gaps between sustainability paradigms. FEAST will provide Denmark’s agricultural educators and future farmers with tools to collaborate across paradigms and embed sustainability as a “living” concept that shapes their aspirations, enabling their role as green change agents.

Upcycling inferior Danish wood for quality barrel oak
This project pioneers a new circular pathway by enhancing Danish oak with lignin, transforming low-value sapwood into a high-performance material for spirit maturation and therefore reducing dependence on imported wood.
Økologisk plante-parmesan
Med avanceret vådekstrudering og præcis smagsudvikling sigter projektet mod at skabe en økologisk plantebaseret parmesan, der kan matche originalens smag, tekstur og funktionalitet.
Fishsafe II
Fishsafe II bygger videre på lovende resultater fra et tidligere innovationsprojekt, hvor biobeskyttelseskulturer markant reducerede Listeria og forlængede friskheden i fiskeprodukter.
Test og verificering af CIP-robot
Projektet udvikler og verificerer en ny CIP-robot, der kan automatisere rengøring af fermenterings- og procestanke. Løsningen skal sikre mere ensartet, dokumenterbar og bæredygtig rengøring end traditionelle løsninger.
