With his contagious enthusiasm, Rune-Christoffer Dragsdahl is the mastermind and strategic partner behind Denmark’s front-running plant-based policies and funds. Rune-Christoffer is the Secretary-General of the Vegetarian Society of Denmark, Regional Representative for Europe, and Director of Policy Initiatives at the International Vegetarian Union (IVU). He and his organisation brought several strategic initiatives to Denmark, paving the way for a landmark deal between the Government and Parliament, which resulted in almost 200 million euros earmarked for developing the plant-based foods sector from farm to fork. With the deal, Denmark promised to create a National Action Plan for Plant-Based Foods, which the Government launched in October 2023. Rune-Christoffer is also a Board Member of the Danish Government’s Plant-Based Food Grant and the Steering Committee of Plant2Food, a research and development initiative launched by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
