DANISH INGREDIENTS CUT FOOD WASTE The export of special food ingredients has boomed. Some bio-ingredients can help in the global efforts to end hunger.

ZERO HUNGER

By Thomas Gringer Jakobsen, World’s Best News

The Danish ingredients industry has been able to reach new markets in the developing world, meeting a demand for products that can improve nutrition, pre-

vent food waste, and extend the shelf-life of products in areas without access to refrigeration.

According to an analysis by the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI), the export of Danish ingredients to developing countries has nearly tripled, from 101 million euros in 2005 to 294

million euros in 2015. This boom now gives Danish companies a market share of 28 percent of the total EU exports of ingredients to the developing nations.

The UN Food and Agricultural Organization estimates that roughly a third of all food is lost or wasted globally, and according to DI, bio-in-

‘Impossible’ camel cheese One example is the camel cheese initiative launched by Danish bioscience company Chr. Hansen, in a partnership with Kenyan company Oleleshwa. Camel milk is believed to be impossible to turn into cheese by traditional methods, but it was made possible by using special patented enzymes.

In a region where up to half of the locally produced camel milk goes to waste because of a lack of storage facilities, turning the surplus into cheese ensures much better preservation of the milk, which is rich in protein, calcium, and vitamin C. While the camel cheese industry is currently too small to turn a profit for the international company, the enzymes developed have shown to be valuable on the global market, because the camel enzymes also work very well for making cheese from cow and sheep’s milk.

“So in total, it turned into

a fantastic business case for us. We went in with a project to help people in a developing country, and we ended up with an improved cheese enzyme that has a big market potential in the industrialised countries”, says Michael Fooken Jensen, Product Manager for Cheese Cultures at Chr. Hansen.

Sustainable palm oil Other ingredient companies already doing sustainable business include the emulsifier producer Palsgaard, which has activities in more than 100 countries, including Mexico and Malaysia.

The company has decided to use sustainable palm oil in its production, which not only helps protect the world’s rain forests, but also promotes jobs and better working conditions for the many people employed in the palm oil industry.

It also means a viable business for Palsgaard, as the company sees a growing demand from its customers for products made from sustainable palm oil.

The Goals present opportunities

Important frame to advance sustain­able business

New solutions that fit with the local context

Business beyond the basics

Political support strengthens the sustainable agenda

The Global Goals are a strong platform to promote Danish interests, values, and priorities for a sustainable world. We can align our efforts to the Goals and use the Goals as concrete areas of action both at home and abroad.

The Goals present opportunities to catalyse private finance, techn­ology, and innovation.

At Maersk, we see the Global Goals as clearly aligned with our sustainability strategy’s focus on unlocking growth. The Goals will constitute an important frame to show how we are advancing sustainable development through our core business, as well as through innovative partnership projects on Enabling Trade.

The Global Goals provide a good frame for the sustainable business models of the future. I think we will see more Danish companies partnering with companies from developing countries to develop new solutions that fit with the local context and meet local challenges.

Solutions that can make a great difference in the lives of millions of people.

The Global Goals will be the driver of business and the leading edge companies will have to go beyond the basics of complying with the law, cutting waste and engaging in CSR for public relation purposes. In the future, innovation should help businesses to capture the opportunities presented by the Global Goals.

The goals related to water and energy savings are important to the world and to Grundfos.

Becoming more aware of the fact that we all need to cut energy and preserve water speaks to our strong suits and our ability to move water and waste water efficiently.

Political support strengthens the sustainable agenda and will hopefully result in tailwind for technologies like ours.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS Today’s conference made a strong case of bringing business to development and creating new partnerships.

CONFERENCE

By Hjalte Zacharewicz , World’s Best News

The Danish House of Industry was abuzz this morning.

There was a sense of purpose and excitement as the more than 200 participants from government, civil society, UN organisations, and Danish businesses came together to exchange ideas

and showcase examples of how the Global Goals can translate into opportunities for business, and how businesses in turn, can contribute to reaching the Global Goals successfully by 2030.

Equal access is good business The conference took off with a royal call to action

by HRH Crown Princess

Access to information has the potential to serve as a major accelerator of development.

Getting connected: The rural revolution Internet access is vital in modern life – also in rural parts of developing countries, because it means access to knowledge and communication.The Danish company BlueTown has made a business of providing Wi-Fi in rural villages around the world at low prices, via low-cost mobile

phones, without the need of a SIM card. The company aims at connecting 100 million new users in the next five years.

Smartphones are also distributed to doctors, nurses, farmers, and teachers, who now have online access to knowledge.

Mary, stating that the Global Goals will be a driving force in creating new markets. She also emphasised the role of woman and girls in making the future we want for our world: ”Women and girls are critical drivers of development. Creating equal access is good business, from the boardroom to farmlands,” she said.

In December 2015 the company launched new Wi-Fi sites in two villages of the Dodoma region of Tanzania: “Being online, I can cheaply access the information I need. It has helped me do my work better,” says Dr. Mbusro Onoka from the Dodoma region.

Broadband internet has not yet reached billions of people living in the developing world, including 90 per cent of those living in the poorest nations, according to a new UN report.

The Global Goals stress that access to information and communication technology, particularly broadband internet, has the potential to serve as a major accelerator of development. / hz

Out of the comfort zone Danish Foreign Minister Mr Kristian Jensen picked up the cue and highlighted the importance of getting it right through new partnerships and solid frameworks.

“And businesses need to get out of their comfort zone,” he said.

Today’s conference was about joining forces. It was about commitment and opportunity. But more than anything else, it was about opening up a common horizon to a better place.

A possible place. Now all that’s left is getting down to business.

As the world goes urban, urban must go green. More people moving to cities means more pressure on water supplies, sewage, and the living environment.

Half of humanity – 3.5 billion people – lives in cities today.

And 95 per cent of urban expansion in the next decades will take place in the developing world. The Global Goals highlight the need to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. A Danish team of architects – Gottlieb Paludan Architects and Schmidt Hammer Las­ sen Architects – have won an international competition to design the world’s largest waste-to-energy plant in China. The new Shenzhen East Waste-to-Energy Plant will incinerate 5,000 tonnes of waste per day – one third of the waste generated

by Shenzhen’s 20 million inhabitants.

“The waste-to-energy plant is a project that ensures robust and sustainable waste management in one of the worlds fastest growing cities,” says Anna Bisgaard-Nøhr, Project Manager at Gottlieb Paludan.

The plant will utilise the most advanced technology in waste incineration and power generation and, while acting as a source of education for the citizens of Shenzhen. / hz

Grundfos provides sustainable water treatment at a cost of 1 USD for 1,000 litres of water.

$1 buys 300 people a drink Danish company Grundfos is testing a sustainable water treatment facility in Thailand.

Funded by the Thai government, the solar-powered facility purifies 20.000 litres of river water daily.

At the cost of one USD for 1000 litres, this means a dollar will buy clean drinking water for around 300 people.

When fully deployed, 50,000 people in 15 villages are

expected to benefit, and the investment is projected to pay for itself in two years.

“This project is an example of sustainability in practice. It’s environmentally friendly and based on local investment, which creates local employment”, says Kim Nøhr Skibsted, Group Vice President, Head of Communications and Engagement at Grundfos. / tgj

PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS

THE GLOBAL GOALS For Sustainable Development

THE GLOBAL GOALS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT The UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development are a set of goals agreed by all the 193 countries of the world. A plan to achieve three extraordinary things by 2030 – end poverty, combat climate change, and fight injustice and in­equality. It will be hard, but it can be done. Learn more about the Global Goals at worldsbestnews.dk/globalgoals or globalgoals.org

The future of financing for development is moving towards private and public money working together through fund management.

This presents both new challenges and advantages.

“It gives a more direct possibility of ownership of the interventions than with public sector based programmes and projects,” says Mr. Carsten Toft Boesen, CEO of the consultancy company NIRAS. Donors are indicating that the trend will continue.

“Fund management is likely to be the vehicle for new financing tools, such as result based finance and social impact bonds, as well as the basis for leveraging public funds with private investment – a very relevant issue given the cutbacks in Nordic development funding,” says Mr. Boesen. / hz
