My book on the Danish cooperative movement will be published on January 9th. It tells the story of how farmer cooperatives have transformed agriculture, nature, and the conditions for people and animals over the past 140 years. Available for pre-order: unipress.dk/udgivelser/a...

At the Danish Marxism conference, I had a great discussion after my paper presenting a critical history of the Danish farmer cooperatives. Are cooperatives inherently problematic, or is it just this specific historical example? My opinion is that whether a capitalist firm is owned by individuals 1/3

It’s wonderful to see how the small Danish Marxism conference we founded years ago has grown into a big and vibrant international event. This year was especially meaningful as we celebrated its 10th anniversary. May it continue to inspire and flourish for many years to come!
THANK YOU 💕💕
Our 10th conference is done and dusted and we couldn’t be happier. A huge thank you from the organisers to everyone who presented, listened, discussed, laughed, and raged about the state derivation debate 🫶
Keep an eye on our channels for information about next year’s conference!!

Really looking forward to joining comrades at the 10th Danish Marxism conference! I’ll be presenting a paper making a historical critique of the cooperative form and arguing that if Danish agriculture is to move toward a sustainable future, its current cooperative structure must be dismantled.

If any of my followers here are going to the Rural History conference in Coimbra next week, you can catch me on Wednesday talking about the Danish "bacon pig". Amazing program btw ruralhistory2025.org/program/

Jeg har godt nok svært ved at forestille mig, at landmændene efter de lokale treparter - der lige nu forhandler udtagning af landbrugsjord - også vil være parate til endnu mere omfangsrige udtagninger gennem en skovrejsningsorden. Det virker helt urealistisk. politiken.dk/klima/art105...

Vi er nødt til at tale om den enorme koncentration af ejerskab til landbrugsjorden, der er sket de sidste årtier. Er der nogen landmænd tilbage efter strukturudviklingen? Det spørger jeg om i det første af 3 indlæg hen over efteråret i Landbrugsavisen.

Samtlige partier i folketinget taler om oprustning. Men det kortsigtede mål om øget militær styrke bidrager ikke blot til et acceleret våbenkapløb. Det underminerer også den langsigtede planetære sikkerhed gennem øget global opvarmning og naturødelæggelse. www.information.dk/udland/2025/...
Der oprustes og føres krig – også mod klimaet
CO₂-udledninger fra verdens militær og væbnede konflikter er et underbelyst emne. Nu råber forskere vagt i gevær: Øget sikkerhed på kort sigt kan koste i form af langsigtet klimarelateret usikkerhed

Excellent critique of how “land sparing” and agricultural intensification are neither sustainable nor capable of feeding the world, but rather serve the interest of industrial agribusiness. And why agroecology remains an alternative.
This week we have members of the Agroecology Research-Action Collective ( @adamcalo.bsky.social , Maywa Montenegro de Wit , @beniuliano.bsky.social , @alastairiles.bsky.social ) taking on the productivist roots of the "feed-the-world" approach to food security.

Klimaloven skal genforhandles i år og det er en god mulighed for, at punktere myten om DK som grønt foregangsland. Danmarks globale forbrugsbaserede udledninger så høje, at der ikke er en reel chance for, at vi kan nå 1,5 graders målsætningen.

There are now only 5.781 full time farms left in Denmark. As the concentration of land in the hands of extremely few people continues, ecological degradation worsens. Perhaps it’s time to consider socialising land itself? www.information.dk/indland/2025...

Første del af den nye kvælstofregulering er nu aftalt. Man vil maksimalt regulere sig til en reduktion af kvælstofudledningen på 7.100 ton. Det er langt fra, hvad der skal til for at sikre god tilstand i vandmiljøerne. Man regner for en stor del altså stadig med frivillighedens vej.

The Swedish Left Party votes in favor of a huge increase in military spending in an act of complete deference to NATO dictates. Not to mention that the global military-industrial complex is a catastrophe for the climate and environment. The ongoing arms race is jeopardizing the future of the planet.
