Novo Nordisk Foundation acknowledges the need for animals in healthy food systems for the nutritional purposes as well as the ecosystem services they provide, such as recycling biomass. But the Foundation emphasizes that the focal point in our food systems should be shifted toward more of a plant-based diet for a healthier planetary balance. A key driver for the organization.
Though they are Danish-based and focused, Novo Nordisk Foundation have been expanding their research and collaborations into a more global scale for some time. These global collaborations have allowed them to tackle crucial work toward transforming global food systems.
