Despite the cool climate [REF] and restricted growing season, a variety of food crops are grown, such as potatoes, turnips, carrots, cabbage, kale, and cauliflower.
The cool climate and northern latitude has certain advantages for agriculture: The lack of insect pests means that the use of agrochemicals-insecticides and herbicides-is very low, and the long hours of daylight in the cool summer allow grass to grow exceptionally well.
