Consumer choices have a big impact on the climate impact of your diet. For example, by following Denmark's official dietary guidelines, which recommend a healthy diet that is rich in plants and contains the right nutrients, the average Dane can reduce their carbon footprint by around a third according to calculations from DTU and Aarhus University.
Most Danes need to reduce their meat consumption to follow the dietary guidelines, for which DTU has provided the scientific basis. There is still room for meat in your diet, but only around 350 grams of meat per week, while purchasing data from 2020 show an average weekly meat purchase of more than one kilo per person.
