Planning & Environment at the Knowledge Centre for Agriculture, the Danish Agricultural Advisory Service (DAAS) focuses on the development of agriculture and rural areas. We are present where ideas are formed and where farmers, local communities and companies would like to achieve something new and different.
We are faced with the challenges of Danish farmers, their co-operation partners and suppliers every day. Their everyday life raises general questions such as:

• How do we explore the possibilities of developing the business?

• How do we make a coherent whole of the community we live in?

Planning & Environment provides knowledge about and advice on business law, environmental law, environmental technology, nature conservation, landscape planning and architecture, building technology, rural development and working environment.
We co-operate with trendsetting farmers, companies, research institutions, authorities, etc. in the above fields.
When handling our tasks, we work together with partners in Denmark as well as other countries. Moreover, we work closely with our colleagues from the local agricultural advisory centres, who make extensive use of our specialised advisory services.
