9 New Nordic Food I Ny Nordisk Mad er en værdiskabende og innovativ satsning i tråd med s vision, "Norden som global vinderregion". VALUECREATING and INNOVATIVE Ny Nordisk Mad skal være med til at brande og synliggøre vores nordiske værdier ved at koble Nordens styrker inden for bl.a. regionale værdier, gastronomi, erhvervsudvikling, råvarer og turisme. BRANDING Formålet med s program er at give nordboerne smag for nordisk mad - i et tidssvarende perspektiv. TASTE Two specific GR projects: - Meat, milk and cheese - Cereals Several other projects involving NordGen and other GR actors. I.e. the NOMA Food Lab.

10 New Nordic Food I National initiatives National public initiatives in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden Private sector initiatives in all countries OPUS in Denmark 100 MDKK from a private fund to do research in the New Nordic Diet

11 New Nordic Food II - New programme Annual budget 3,1 MDKK - Communication rather than innovation - Focus on Genetic resources - Additional funding expected: 1 MDKK/year focusing directly on New Nordic Food & Branding

12 New Nordic Food II Proposal for a new program will be presented by the end of the year Workshop November. Stakeholders will be invited, including GR people.

13 New Nordic Food II Focus areas: NNF and culture Foodculture NNF and branding NNF and tourism NNF and regional development NNF and GR NNF, health and food for every day

14 New Nordic Food II - Method Relatively small budget Focus on communication on New Nordic Food - find solutions and communicate them! Not on funding innovation (which would demand 100MDKK/year) Questions: - what are the challenges? - what are the obstacles? - how can wee respond to them? - who are responsible (public, private, organisations, producers, retailers etc.)? - how can we cooperate to find new solutions? Seminars, workshop, symposiums etc. to find solutions and formulate action. Events etc. to create awareness and simply to do it!

15 New Nordic Food II and GR Eat it to conserve it! How can GR contribute to secure unique Nordic produce and products with focus on taste and diversity? GR and Nordic Terroir a good combination to increase the uniqeness of the products which can have great potentials in branding the Nordic region. NordGen is a key institution in the work.

16 New Nordic Food II and GR The programme will focus on: - Specific challenges - What to do about them action plans! - How to communicate about them! - AGR - What is the problem? - What can we do about it? - A question for you!

17 How can AGR benefit of New Nordic Food? New Nordic Food is not the solution to AGR, but could be a part of it! New Nordic Food is focusing on sustainable use, but in that respect it might be possible, that it could contribute to improving conservation issues. NNF: A focus on quality, taste and diversity, not on nature conservation etc.!
