Swedish agriculture

Swedish agriculture balances tradition and modern techniques to produce crops like wheat, barley, and potatoes, alongside dairy, meat, and forestry. The climate and soil limit some farming, so many farmers focus on hardy crops and sustainable practices. The industry emphasizes environmental care, animal welfare, and innovation, such as organic farming and technology use. Agriculture contributes to local food security and rural economies, while also meeting international demand. Despite challenges from climate and global markets, Swedish farmers adapt through efficiency, research, and sustainable methods to maintain productivity and environmental harmony.
