The Danish legislators they agreed on Monday in an agreement to plant 1 billion trees and convert 10% of agricultural land into forests and natural habitats over the next two decades in an effort to reduce fertilizer use. 
The government called the deal "the biggest change in Denmark's landscape in over 100 years". Under the agreement, 43 billion kroner ($6,1 billion) has been committed to acquiring the land from farmers over the next two decades, the government said.
Denmark's forests will grow to an additional 250.000 hectares (618.000 acres), and another 140.000 hectares (346.000 acres), which are currently cultivated on climate-damaging low-lying land, should be converted to natural environments.
Currently, 14,6% of the land is covered by forests.
In June, the government said farmers would be taxed on the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030
It will be the first country to do so as it aims to significantly reduce its sources of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.
