great agriculture pdf. Just scrolled through it and looks like it's more oriented for desert/hot conditions. We don't have that here. Here we have low temperatures, soil of low fertility - it's limited what you can grow north of Dovrefjell.
I am thinking more of heated green houses in combination with veges / fruits that can be grown like that. Heating would be renewable energy such as primitive heat pumps or wood burning stoves. Stability of such ecosystem
would be achieved through bio diversity - ecological wine is made in South Africa that way.
I suggest we put some effort into finding resources for this, starting with basics like where to get plastic foil big enough to make a decent green house.
