Did you know? #Denmark has over 3,700 shelters (shelter_type=lean_to) mapped in #OpenStreetMap!
Many of these are found in peaceful, scenic spots. Together with numerous primitive campsites, they make up for the fact that we don’t have the same Allemandsret (Freedom to roam) as our Nordic neighbors.

Want to find them while out and about? Apps like #OsmAnd (using OpenStreetMap-data) make it super easy to explore and navigate to these (usually free) shelters and tent spots.

A study in Germany and Luxembourg "has shown for the first time that #permaculture brings about a significant improvement in #biodiversity, #SoilQuality and #CarbonStorage.

According to the study, the soil quality and biodiversity on the permaculture plots was distinctly higher compared to the surrounding conventional agricultural land as well as compared to the literature values for conventional agriculture."

Denmark to convert 15% of farmland to forest to cut fertilizer use

"#Denmark [is] the first country to impose a #CarbonTax on #agriculture, [and] plans to plant one billion trees on farmland over the following 20 years.

Reducing emissions from agriculture, Denmark's largest source of greenhouse gases, has been a major hurdle for [achieving] a legally binding 2030 target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels."
