It will probably come as a surprise for most foreigners, who visit Denmark,

0:00:04.983,0:00:08.783
to realise who the typical camper in Denmark is.

0:00:10.932,0:00:15.532
The organic egg layers are camping at Lene and Kim's at Topkaergaard.

0:00:15.732,0:00:20.700
Every 3rd week they get bored of their camping site and move on to a new one.

0:00:20.889,0:00:26.289
Filled with more grass, more worms and more of everything you can dig for.

0:00:29.014,0:00:33.814
Notice, that they wisely, as new settlers, create a camper van fence to keep out the fox.

0:00:34.646,0:00:38.639
At the newly started organic farm Topkaergaard Lene and Kim,

0:00:38.839,0:00:43.250
are a good example of what is currently happening with the food and meal culture in Denmark.

0:00:43.511,0:00:45.917
They are also a good example of the many people,

0:00:46.117,0:00:52.318
who are actively trying to push the significant change that is happening within the food culture.

0:00:53.410,0:00:57.170
A change that is shaped by many reasons and approaches as for example

0:00:57.520,0:01:01.550
a wish for better sustainability also within the production of our food,

0:01:02.350,0:01:07.761
A belief that organic produced food is healthier

0:01:07.961,0:01:16.900
or an increasing worry about climate change based on 'eat more locally grown food and not food that is transported from one part of the world to another'.

0:01:17.558,0:01:20.558
Denmark is number one in the world in terms of consuming organic food.

0:01:21.186,0:01:24.575
However, sharply followed by Luxemburg and Switzerland.

0:01:24.675,0:01:26.975
And now China as well.

0:01:27.107,0:01:30.607
The consumption has grown with 10-14% a year the past years

0:01:30.907,0:01:36.650
and amounted for 10,4% of the Danes total consumption in 2017.

0:01:37.020,0:01:40.830
In 2017 Denmark had 10.000 full-time farms.

0:01:41.700,0:01:47.058
Of these, approx. 1000 farmers applied for economic support in order to restructure their farms into organic farms.

0:01:48.000,0:01:50.036
It was a lot more than the state had budgeted with,

0:01:50.593,0:01:55.093
but it wishes to meet the demands by making a hastily change in the budget through the government.

0:01:57.000,0:02:01.060
This development can and should be seen in connection with a new trend in Denmark,

0:02:01.390,0:02:06.280
that rediscovers and relaunches the old Danish dishes with new preparation methods and arrangement.

0:02:07.251,0:02:12.351
The tendency in Denmark and beyond the country's borders, is known as 'The New Nordic Kitchen'.

0:02:13.325,0:02:14.850
With a restaurant like Noma,

0:02:14.900,0:02:21.866
that has been the trendsetter and named  the world's best restaurant in 2010, '11, '12 and '14 and again in '15.

0:02:22.054,0:02:26.500
After this, it closed down only to rediscover itself in 2016,

0:02:26.700,0:02:33.470
which all is a part in the dramatic change and expansion of the Danish food culture that is currently taking place.

0:02:34.235,0:02:39.250
Are you visiting Denmark as a tourist or coming to live, it is easy to live as a vegetarian

0:02:39.520,0:02:46.150
or find restaurants and eating places, that reflects this development within organic and old Danish dishes.

0:02:47.000,0:02:49.830
Are you coming to Denmark to work within the health care system,

0:02:49.930,0:02:53.150
you need to know the other side of Denmark as well.

0:02:56.474,0:03:03.974
In the spring of 2017, the Danish Health Authorities announced that the number of moderately to heavily overweight Danes,

0:03:03.990,0:03:09.276
was increased from 46,8% in 2010 to 51% in 2017.

0:03:12.882,0:03:16.582
16,8% of Danes are now heavily overweight.

0:03:16.650,0:03:20.052
It means a BMI of 30 or more.

0:03:20.740,0:03:26.540
As a social worker, it is important that you can actively take responsibility for issues concerning obesity,

0:03:26.682,0:03:33.500
and be able to tackle the risks and challenges that can follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

0:03:34.906,0:03:42.840
You have to advise and support both in terms of the overweight and the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle in terms of care.

0:03:43.600,0:03:53.310
Reflect on this: 'What challenges do you think there are in terms of providing a qualitative care for overweight people?'.

0:03:55.100,0:03:57.899
'Which risks needs to be addressed the fastest?'.

0:03:59.696,0:04:08.090
'Which risks and challenges do you see being relevant in terms of caring for the citizens who lead a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle?'.
