lol yeah you definitely need more sun in NL !
Anyways, it depends on the crop, less and less, as everything tends to be cultivated under greenhouses.
So we have tomatoes from the NL and from southern Spain, all year long, and both cultivated under greenhouses : in NL to keep them warm and in Spain to retain as much water as possible.
So on the one hand there are people who claim permaculture is the future, we should go back to traditional ways, at a more human scale etc, but on the other hand they're much more dependent on the weather than these "food factories".
