From Soil to Supper: Celebrating Biodiversity in Copenhagen’s Food Culture

Grønt Marked will host the Biodiversity Festival at Skjolds Plads — a day-long celebration of the rich cultural and biological diversity that shapes how we eat, grow, and connect in Copenhagen.

 

The festival will transform our regular farmers market into a vibrant gathering filled with talks, workshops, tastings, demonstrations, music, and food. Visitors will explore how biodiversity is essential not only for environmental and human health and climate resilience, but also for shaping the dynamic food culture Copenhagen is known for.

Exploring the impact of a biodiverse diet

From wild fermentation to freshly milled heritage grains to wild herbs and heirloom beans, the festival brings together a diverse community of producers, cooks, and food advocates who are redefining what it means to eat well in the city. Whether you’re a home cook or a restaurant professional, this is an invitation to discover how biodiversity influences the flavor, quality, and accessibility of the food we enjoy every day.
 
Supported by the Municipality of Copenhagen, the Biodiversity Festival brings together a wide network of voices. Including farmers, breeders, beekeepers, seed savers, bakers, millers, cooks, researchers, artists, and food advocates — all working toward a more equitable and sustainable food future.

Meet The Producers, 3rd Edition

september 4, 2025

  Biodiversity Festival – Meet the Producers, Vol. 3 Grønt Marked has many moving parts, but one we simply couldn’t function without is our wonderful community of volunteers. In this edition of “Meet the Producers,” we’d like to introduce you to Zaineb. Though not a producer, Zaineb is a seasoned volunteer and an integral part of the market community. Our volunteers come from every corner of the world, bringing the market to life each Sunday. They represent diverse backgrounds, countries, professions, and communities, yet they’re united by a shared passion: supporting a more sustainable food system while building friendships and connections around good food. This is exactly the type of diversity we’ll be celebrating at our upcoming Biodiversity Festival, a cultural exchange that builds community strength alongside environmental richness💚 Volunteers help build and break down the market, but their contributions go far beyond. Zaineb, for example, is a gifted copywriter who makes sure you receive only the best newsletters each month. The biodiversity festival is open to all volunteers! Would you like to help make this an incredible community event? You can contact us through volunteer@groentmarked.dk. Video Credit:Valeria Occhi Mora

FAQ

Hvorfor et bondemarked?

We believe all farmers should have the possibility to sell at a fair price directly to the consumers – at the same time, consumers should have access to fresh, seasonal, local and healthy food. In this sense, Farmers Market are an important step towards connecting local farmers and end-consumers, cutting out the middleman. Moreover, Farmers Market are places where to build relations – they contribute to creating a transparent food-shopping alternative where human connection and community comes first.

Hvilke produkter kan jeg finde på markedet?

Lokale, sæsonbestemte og bæredygtigt dyrkede grøntsager, frugter, svampe, korn og blomster. Etiske og bæredygtige animalske produkter såsom æg, ost, mælk, kød og pålæg. Håndlavet eddike, spiritus, syltetøj, fermenterede produkter etc. Altsammen lavet på lokale og bæredygtige råvarer. For mere info, kan du tjekke vores retningslinjer..

Hvordan vælger i producenterne?

Please feel free to Se vores retningslinjer her.

Hvordan kan jeg være med?

Du kan skrive til os eller svinge forbi et af markederne! Vi vil altid gerne møde nye ansigter og diskutere store ideer! Du er også velkommen til at være frivillig på markederne. :-) For mere info, tag et kig på siden for frivillige!

Hvem står bag markederne?

A community made by farmers, volunteers, friends, colleagues and believers – each one ready to support the project and contribute with their skills, enthusiasm and great ideas! Read more about the origin of Grønt Market and the team lige here!

Kan Grønt Marked organisere et marked til min begivenhed?

Man kan desværre ikke booke markedet. Markedet er ikke tænkt som underholdning, men som et regulær tilbagevendene alternativ til at købe ind. Hovedformålet er at give producenterne en platform til at sælge deres varer direkte til dem som spiser dem, samtidigt med at forbrugerne skal have kunne købe god, sund mad mens de lærer om fødevaresystemet. For at skabe et succesfuldt marked for os, skal fokus altid ligge på dyrkerne på landet og deres råvarer.

Hvilke betalingsformer modtager I?

Alle producenterne modtager MobilePay og kontanter. Nogle af dem kan også tage imod kort. 

Sælger i plastikposer?

Vi anbefaler at du medbringer din egne poser hjemmefra. De fleste producenter bruger genanvendelig emballage når muligt, men ost og juice er nogle gange indpakket i plastik. Alle producenterne bruger bionedbrydelige materialer til at indpakke råvarerne - når nødvendigt - som lever op til kravene fra Fødevarestyrelsen.

Er der læ i tilfælde af regn?

Grønt Marked finder sted under åben himmel, så der er ikke meget læ at finde.
