The Royal Danish Agricultural Society (Danish: Det Kongelige Danske Landhusholdningsselskab, DKHL) was founded in 1769.
The Royal Danish Agricultural Society was established on 29 January 1769 at the initiative of J. H.E. Bernstorff's protegé Martin Hübner (1723–95). [1]
The inspiration came from similar societies in other European countries, including Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce in England (1753), Société Royale d'Agriculture de la Généralité de Tours (1760) and Société Royale d'Agriculture de la Généralité de Paris (1761) in France, Fürstlich-Anhaltische Deutsche Gesellschaft (1761) in Preussen, Imperial Free Economic Society for the Encouragement in Russia of Agriculture and House-Building in Russia (1765) and Academy of Agriculture, Commerce and Arts of Verona in Italy (1879). The goal of the new society was to promote the interest in agriculture through competitions (practical and theoretical) for farmers, craftsmen, artists, and theorists. The members were mainly farmers, clergy and estate owners. The president was usually a high-ranking civil servant. [2] Its first president was Friedrich Ludwig von Moltke.
The Royal Danish Agricultural Society's medal was designed by the medallist Daniel Adzer. [2]
The journal Tidsskrift for Landøkonomi has been published since 1831. [2]
The company has one president. Previously, the company was led by three presidents.[ clarification needed ]
