Farms In The North Strengthen Sweden's Preparedness

This is according to a trend report from the farmer co-operative Norrmejerier, shared by North Sweden Business.

The trend report states that proximity to farms means less transport, a reduced carbon footprint - and increased resilience across society.

Farming in northern Sweden is characterised by:

• Colder winters that reduce the need for plant protection products.
• Pastures and grassland that favour open landscapes and biodiversity
• 80 per cent of arable land is used for grassland, compared to 40 per cent in the rest of Sweden.
