Greenland's Farmers Welcome Global Warming

Greenland's climate is rapidly changing, with warming temperatures opening up new opportunities for agriculture, especially in the south. This shift is helping Greenland become more self-sufficient by reducing its reliance on imported produce. The video highlights the efforts of local farmers like Europe Knutson, who are expanding their farms and adapting to the new climate conditions. However, the warming also poses challenges, particularly in the north, where traditional hunting and fishing are affected. The video discusses the economic implications and the potential for a viable agricultural industry in Greenland.

What is the primary reason for the rapid climate changes in Greenland?

• Deforestation

• Industrial pollution

• Increased volcanic activity

• Global warming

How are local farmers in Greenland adapting to the changing climate?

• By focusing on fishing instead of farming

• By expanding their farms and using new technologies

• By importing more feed from Europe

• By reducing the size of their farms

What role does Europe Knutson play in Greenland's agricultural development?

• He is an environmental activist

• He is a scientist studying climate change

• He is a local farmer expanding his farm

• He is a government official

Why is Greenland's reliance on imported produce economically challenging?

• It leads to higher costs and less fresh produce

• It causes a shortage of local jobs

• It increases the country's carbon footprint

• It results in overproduction of local goods

What is a potential benefit of developing a self-sufficient agricultural industry in Greenland?

• Improved economic stability

• Higher costs for local produce

• Decreased agricultural output

• Increased dependency on imported goods
