Is this really accurate? Are they counting green houses?
Because this tool says Sweden harvests Avocados, blood oranges and grapes in winter.
I live in the southern most part of Sweden and I can honestly say I never saw a grape grow in winter.
- ajuc 6y agoThey have apples and pears in every month in Poland :) I mean sure - you can keep apples and pears through the winter but they aren't fresh so does it count? Or maybe they mean greenhouses but then you might as well add oranges and lemons. But for other fruits it was pretty accurate in Poland. More importantly I don't see how it helps with "more sustainable diet"? Just go to a local grocery market and buy whatever they have there.
- fogihujy 6y agoAccording to the FAO, no: http://www.fao.org/faostat/ http://www.fao.org/faostat/ I'm sure grape production would work in southern Sweden, but I assume it'd be restricted to the summer months. :D
- narag 6y agoIn Almería (Spain) there are harvests all around the year. Take a look at the "plastic sea" of greenhouses: https://www.google.es/maps/@36.7933578,-2.4678147,92135m/data=!3m1!1e3 https://www.google.es/maps/@36.7933578,-2.4678147,92135m/dat... Exports cover all Europe. Edit: in case you don't know, it's a desertic climate. Commonplace is "Sahara desert crossing the sea northwards". Most "Spaghetti Westerns" were filmed in the area.
