ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Why Milk is so Complicated ... by juxtaposing two very different dairy producing countries, Bulgaria and Denmark, we illustrate the diversity and complexity of a common EU where rules and regulation have to be as equal as possible. This is the story of why EU support and regulations are so complex and yet have the ability to embrace different realties at once.
“AG2020 - Images of the future” is a new way to reach both experts and the general public with thrilling stories based on scientific research.
Dead spanish villages, Brazilian miracles, Danish vineyards, artificial burgers - profusion and hunger. Through three years we have been on the sideline as 13 European universities have worked to give a nuanced foundation in the decision-making of the new agricultural policy.
The result is 10 films for danish national television about the future of the countrysides in the EU.

Spearheaded by Mariann Fischer Boel a number of people recommend ‘AG2020 - Images of the future’. A couple of examples:
“... I am very positive towards the knowledge project that Documentary.dk has outlined to me. It is my hope that the project can facilitate an interest among far more people about the challenges facing agriculture and agricultural districts in the 21st. century,” former EU Commissioner Mariann Fischer Boel said.
” ‘AG2020 - Images of the future’ provides a unique opportunity to widely communicate these issues as a basis for dialog concerning the future of farming and agricultural districts. I warmly recommend,” says Søren E. Frandsen, Vice Chancellor of Aarhus University.
Project manager for AG2020, Senior Scientist Kristian Borch, finds this knowledge project to be "unique and able to set new standards for the communication of scientific projects.”
