Benjamin Vidmar

Arctic farmer defies icy conditions to grow vegetables

On the icy Norwegian islands of Svalbard, located well above the Arctic Circle, the maximum temperature was just 13°C last year and the minimum temperature a frosty -24°C. For more than three months of the year, the sun doesn't even rise over Svalbard. And yet, one farmer/chef has taken it upon himself to try to grow food there. FRANCE 24's team went to meet him.

"Svalbard will become an example for the world"
A while ago HortiDaily published an article about Benjamin Vidmar, who grows vegetables in Svalbard. Read that article here.
