Eight municipalities will have some government funding to convert  public canteens to serving organic food. Aarhus, Bornholm, Hvidovre, Kolding, Haderslev, Egedal,Taastrup and Varde will receive a total of approximately 4 million Euros from Denmark’s organic promotion program. The country’s organic action plan seeks to a double organic farmland by 2020.

Meanwhile, 500 cafeterias, restaurants, public kitchens and similar locations now carry the organic food logo in gold, silver or bronze. The three different label designations indicate how much of the food served is organic, with 30 percent as the minimum for the bronze designation. Canteens and institutions such as kindergartens dominate the list, putting the country on track to reach its goal of having 60 percent of the food served in public kitchens organic by 2020.
