Opportunities for agroforestry in Finland.
Although agroforestry is not very often associated to northern European climatic zones, agroforestry has a long tradition in Finland (Uusitalo & Peltola 2015). The most well-known examples of agroforestry practices in northern Fennoscandia are reindeer husbandry and the collection of non-wood fo...

Even though the climate in Finland is harsh, there would also be opportunities for vegetable production, although this is much less common. The purity of agricultural products in Finland is considered a main advantage.
