Carlsberg Denmark is taking another step toward its goal of having 50 percent of the raw materials used in its beverages grown according to regenerative principles by 2032.<\/p>\n

Carlsberg Denmark<\/a> is increasing procurement from 15,000 tonnes (t) in 2025 to 18,400 t of regenerative crops from the farmers\u2019 2026 harvest. These raw materials will be used for beer brewed in Fredericia in 2027.<\/p>\n

With this contract, Carlsberg Denmark is, for the first time, purchasing regeneratively grown wheat \u2013 covering all the wheat used in the brewery\u2019s beers that contain wheat, such as 1664 Blanc and Biere, Jacobsen Brabara\u2019s Easy IPA, Mikkeller Burst IPA, and Brooklyn Pulp Art IPA<\/p>\n

\u201cOur investment in regeneratively grown grain in Denmark has got off to a very good start\u201d, says Stig Schneider<\/a>, Senior Sustainability Manager at Carlsberg Denmark.<\/p>\n

\u201c2025 was our first year using regenerative raw materials, and we brewed around 3 million (litres) l of beer using regenerative malting barley.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, we are already at approximately 100 million l. Now we are increasing procurement from 15,000 to 17,400 t of regeneratively grown malting barley, which will be harvested this autumn and result in around 118 million l of beer next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of that, for the first time, we have also ordered 1,000 t of regeneratively grown wheat, which will cover our entire wheat consumption in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCarlberg is a frontrunner when it comes to making a significant and committed shift to regenerative crops,\u201d says Claus Stig Pedersen<\/a>, EVP for Sustainability & Communications at DLG.<\/p>\n

DLG welcomes the fact that Carlsberg Denmark is increasing its share of regeneratively grown crops and, at the same time, highlights the need for more companies to engage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is important because broader demand makes it more attractive for more farmers to work with new cultivation methods and stronger crop rotation,\u201d Pederson added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that more companies will follow suit, so that we also see regenerative oats, rye, and rapeseed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The regenerative principles that Carlsberg Denmark applies, in collaboration with Danish farmers, align with the Regenerating Together Programme (RTP).<\/p>\n

RTP is an international initiative under the SAI Platform, which brings together companies, farmers, non-government organisations (NGOs), and research institutions around a shared approach to regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n

It defines regenerative agriculture as an outcome-based farming approach that protects and improves all soil health, biodiversity, climate, and water resources, with the premise of improving \u2013 or at a minimum maintaining \u2013 farmer livelihoods.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Carlsberg Group has recently confirmed continued support for the programme and will continue to follow RTP\u2019s principles and methods.<\/p>\n

One of the programme\u2019s aims is to create a common industry framework that improves measurement, transparency, verification, and implementation of regenerative practices.<\/p>\n

Carlsberg Denmark recommends developing a clear national framework for regenerative agriculture, inspired by the SAI Platform, that strengthens documentation, transparency, and collaboration across the value chain \u2013 and makes it more attractive for farmers to participate in the transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlsberg Denmark is taking another step toward its goal of having 50 percent of the raw materials used…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[27,26,22464],"class_list":["post-121408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-denmark","tag-danmark","tag-denmark","tag-insights"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116854790865029618","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
