There are some problems with this article. For one thing, it's from January 2016, and it mentions Food and Agriculture Minister Dan Jørgensen, but Jørgensen wasn't minister back in January, his government stepped down in June 2015, when a new centre-right government took over.
And exactly agriculture is one of the areas that the new government have changed a lot. It was growing into a big scandal around when this article was written, that cost the agriculture minister of that government her job.[0] So between when I am writing this post, and when Jørgensen said that in 2015, there have been three different agriculture ministers.
Given the new relaxed rules by the ministry on farmers and what they can do to the soil, I think it is safe to say that the ambitious plan that the article refers to has pretty much been scrapped.
The article is very out of date right now, but it was even out of date at the time it was written. The plan was published in January 2015. The general election was in early June 2015. The new agriculture law came into effect around February 2016 (but its contents was known by December 2015).
