I'm always leary of claims like this as often planting numbers overshadow future community composition.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
As I understand it, they have to over plant as many of the trees won't survive to maturity.
If they plant a billion and only a hundred million are still there in fifty years it's still a big win for the environment.
Yes, this is part of it, too. Usually a safe bet is a 20% contingency for planting, but you need to watch your mortality rates, obviously, as big weather events can throw that all out the window.
How does that affect domestic food production/supply?
The current food production is approximately at 130% of the consumption, so Denmark will still have a net export.
Of course we also have imports, so the effect will be even smaller in that regard, but it's nice to know that it's fully covered in a worse case scenario.
Negatively for sure, although if they choose the worst farmland it might be by a significantly less than 10%. People can decide if the tradeoff is worth it for themselves, I guess.
They can paint on the old mink farms
If you stop doing animal agriculture, food supplies go up about 90%
So this is a very easy problem to solve.
no, they don't.
Of course they do
Any Danes in this thread looking to marry? Asking for a friend that's educated, housebroken, and loves nature and Danish metal.
Yay
Is this like colonialism? They dont even have that much land
The kingdom is 2.210.403km^2^, it's huge, 12th largest state in the world, larger than Saudi Arabia or Mexico. Most of it is Greenland though and it's going to be difficult planting forests on glaciers so I think they mean metropolitan Denmark.
That's not how percentages work
I was to "1 billion trees"
The current forests in Denmark are 15% of the land and also about one billion trees in total. Adding another billion trees on 10% is probably possible.
