The Plant Food Festival will be held for the first time in Aarhus on the weekend of 18-19 January 2025 at Savværket, followed by its return to Copenhagen on 1-2 November 2025. This green food expo will focus on plant-based and organic products, while also welcoming exhibitors with conventional offerings.
Open to both private visitors and industry professionals, the event will feature a range of plant-based products, including those from startups developing innovative new foods.
Attendees can explore various exhibitors, participate in workshops, and enjoy presentations from experts in the field. Exhibitors can present their latest vegan products and innovations to a diverse audience, gaining feedback and generating interest from both consumers and potential business partners.
“Important milestone for plant-based food production in Denmark”
“By expanding the Plant Food Festival 2025 to both Aarhus and Copenhagen, we mark an important milestone for plant-based food production in Denmark. With this expansion, we can reach even more consumers and professionals who wish to promote a greener and more sustainable future. This is a step towards an even stronger plant-based food culture throughout the country.” says Mie Nordly, Project director of Plant Food Festival at Vegetarian Society of Denmark.
The festival is organized by Vegetarian Society of Denmark and supported by the Plant-Based Food Grant (Danish Agricultural Agency) and Organic Plant Protein A/S. Exhibitor spots are still available.
Denmark’s Plant-Based Food Grant funds initiatives that promote the advancement of plant-based innovations
In October 2021, the Danish government announced the launch of a 675 million DKK (€90 million) Fund dedicated to plant-based development and promotion. The first round of grants closed on August 31, 2023. The selected projects receive DKK 58.2 million in funding to support the country’s first phase of its plant-based food agenda: developing new food options, training kitchen staff, and launching national awareness campaigns to promote plant-based foods. Thirty-three of the projects are scheduled to begin work in January 2024.
