Chapter 1 · The country Sweden
En odlare vill ha en längre odlingssäsong och jämför norra och södra Sverige. Vilken skillnad talar för söder?
A grower wants a longer growing season and compares northern and southern Sweden. Which difference favours the south?
Correct answer: More months warm enough for cultivation
Agriculture is adapted to the climate. The colder north makes cultivation harder, while the milder south offers better conditions.

Why this option does not fit
Fler timmar med dagsljus under sommardygnet
Summer days have more daylight in the north; this does not explain the south’s longer growing season.
Mer smältvatten från snö kvar på fjällen
Meltwater can supply crops with water, but does not itself lengthen the period of sufficient warmth.
Större skillnad mellan dagens och nattens temperatur
The day–night temperature difference does not determine season length; crops need sufficient warmth for a longer part of the year.
