=== Agriculture === Denmark has plenty of rain, flat landscape, and moderate climate. With 55.99% of its land considered as arable, Denmark has model characteristics for agriculture. 61% of the country's total area is cultivated <ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://agricultureandfood.dk/|title=FACTS AND FIGURES: Danish Agriculture and Food}}</ref> Farms in Denmark are remarkably large, averaging {{Convert|172.9|acre|order=flip}} per farm. Additionally, homesteads exceeding {{Convert|247|acre|order=flip}} make up more than 20% in Denmark. Many of these large farms harvest fruits and vegetables, the leading exports from Denmark are meat, fur, and dairy products.<ref name=":1" /> The animal's diets in Denmark consist of mainly cereals since they are the dominant field crop. 75% of all cereal produced in Denmark is feed to the four most produced animals which are pigs, cattle, chicken and mink.<ref name=":1" /> Denmark overproduces about 66% of food production compared to their own population size (5.7 million) being that they are able to feed 15 million people. This is a byproduct of being highly productive within the Danish agricultural production.<ref name=":1" /> In 1961, Denmark's Agricultural land represented 74.5% of land area. Fifty-six years later to 2015, Denmark has decreased its amount of Agricultural land down to 62.1%<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.LND.AGRI.ZS?locations=DK|title=Agricultural land (% of land area) {{!}} Data|website=data.worldbank.org|language=en-us|access-date=2018-11-29}}</ref> then to 61% one year later in reference to "Facts and Figures - Danish Agriculture and Food"<ref name=":1"/> The decrease in agricultural land comes as farmers are being well educated and the intensive amount of research and development is being implemented. It begins with advancements in agro-technology. The results have improved fertilization and nutrient use on arable land. Digestibility and nutrient uptake are developing from the improvements of new methods that are being implemented. Examples of these new methods are the addition of enzymes and microbial cultures.<ref name=":1" />
