The Big Climate Database

The Big Climate Database was made in 2019 with the help of a donation of DKK 1.7 million from the Salling Foundations. When the database was launched in 2021, it made it possible to compare the climate footprint of 500 different foods. The calculations include the climate footprint from all parts of the value chain – from agriculture, processing, packaging and transport to storage in the store.

Because of this, the database has made it possible for everyone who wants to eat, sell or produce food to learn more about food's climate footprint on a comparable basis.
