After a year’s break, the Agricultural Council is now back in action โ with a new chairman at the helm.
Lars Nielsen has many years of experience in agriculture. Among other things, he started the sheep farm in Kangerluarsorujuk. He is now retiring after a generational change and is ready to pass on his experience to the Agricultural Council. ๏ฟผ
He emphasises that cooperation with Naalakkersuisut and other players must be strengthened for the benefit of the entire industry.
Recent years have been challenging for sheep farmers in the region. Hard work combined with difficult weather conditions, high global feed prices, and uncertainty about the future of the sheep farming school have taken their toll.

During the meeting, a new experimental committee was also set up, involving several key players, including the Sheep Farmers’ Association, SPS, the Agricultural Council, Neqi A/S, VFMG, and the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources.
The Agricultural Council will meet again in February 2026. The Agricultural Council brings together many different stakeholders: researchers, large companies, local politicians, and sheep farmers’ associations, along with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Agricultural Advisory Service, among others.
