Jeg har haft nogle samtaler med unge mennesker som står for at etablere en familie
Forslag fra “Brainstorm”
At vordende forældre får et kursus FØR de får det første barn for at give den bedst mulige start for både forældre og barnet.
Jeg har anbefalet at vi respektere naturen på en afbalanceret levevis, og for at illustrere hvad jeg mener har jeg tilladt mig at kopiere en tekst fra en E-mail som jeg har sendt:
Her et bidrag fra AI
“(According to American authorities, clean air and clean drinking water are the two most important factors for human beings. I have conducted a study showing that if Danish agriculture transitions to organic farming—which protects our drinking water in the best possible way—it will result in an average yield reduction of between 25% and 40%, depending on the crop. Furthermore, it is possible that other countries will follow suit in the long term.
Here is a little bit of what I found, just to give you some food for thought.
Øko. landbrug vs. konventielt landbrug
In Denmark (and Northern Europe in general), the typical picture is that organic yields are significantly lower than conventional yields. This is primarily due to restrictions on the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Average Yield Overview (hkg per hectare)
The figures below are indicative averages for typical Danish crops. Note that 1 hkg (hectokilo) equals 100 kg.
| Crop | Conventional (hkg/ha) | Organic (hkg/ha) | Yield Difference |
| Winter Wheat | 75 – 85 | 40 – 50 | ~40-50% lower |
| Spring Barley | 55 – 65 | 35 – 45 | ~30-35% lower |
| Oats | 55 – 60 | 40 – 45 | ~25-30% lower |
| Rye | 60 – 70 | 35 – 45 | ~35-40% lower |
| Potatoes | 400 – 500 | 200 – 300 | ~40-50% lower |

Why is there a difference?
There are three main reasons why organic yield per hectare is lower:
- Nutrients: Organic farmers are not allowed to use synthetic fertilizers. They rely on animal manure and cover crops (such as clover) that bind nitrogen in the soil. This often results in a less precise and lower supply of nutrients to the plant.
- Weeds and Diseases: Without chemical pesticides, weeds must be controlled mechanically (harrowing and row cultivation). This is rarely 100% effective, allowing weeds to “steal” space and nutrients from the crops.
- Crop Rotation: Organic farmers often dedicate a larger portion of their land to “green manure” (fields with grass/clover solely to improve soil health), which lowers the overall average yield for the entire farm.
Is organic farming a bad business move?
Not necessarily. Although the yield is lower, organic farmers often receive a higher price per unit sold, and they save on the costs of expensive pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Additionally, there are often higher government subsidies (per-hectare support) for organic land.)”
Min anbefaling til fremtidens fødevareforsyning: At vi finder en balance mellem konventionelt landbrug og økologisk landbrug.
På udsatte steder kan myndighederne anbefale Øko. landbrug af hensyn til grundvandet og på landbrugsjord som yder en bedre beskyttelse af grundvandet kan konventionelt landbrug fortsætte som hidtil, vi har jo trods alt cirka 8 milliarder mennesker som skal brødfødes.
