Possible conflicts of interest
My advisory tasks for the Danish authorities are often within topics of considerable public and political interest, and where the work implies contact to various groups of stakeholders, from agriculture and food industry, as well as from consumer organisations, environmental organisations, etc.
Part of my research projects involve contact with firms and organisations, as a consequence of the framework conditions given to may governmental funding bodies with research and development programmes, such as the Innovation Fund ,GUDP, and the agricultural production levy funds (Pig Foundation, Cattle Foundation, etc.)
