Any Danes in this thread looking to marry? Asking for a friend that's educated, housebroken, and loves nature and Danish metal.

I'm always leary of claims like this as often planting numbers overshadow future community composition.

How does that affect domestic food production/supply?

Negatively for sure, although if they choose the worst farmland it might be by a significantly less than 10%. People can decide if the tradeoff is worth it for themselves, I guess.

They can paint on the old mink farms

If you stop doing animal agriculture, food supplies go up about 90%

So this is a very easy problem to solve.

The current food production is approximately at 130% of the consumption, so Denmark will still have a net export.

Of course we also have imports, so the effect will be even smaller in that regard, but it's nice to know that it's fully covered in a worse case scenario.

That's not how percentages work

The kingdom is 2.210.403km^2^, it's huge, 12th largest state in the world, larger than Saudi Arabia or Mexico. Most of it is Greenland though and it's going to be difficult planting forests on glaciers so I think they mean metropolitan Denmark.
