Answer:
- Greenland's farming was challenging up until a few years ago because the climate just did not stay warm enough for crops to bloom.
- In 2018, Greenland's agricultural land (as a percentage of total land area) was reported to be 0.5923%, based on data gathered by the World Bank from recognized sources.
- The same World Bank report states that as of 2013, 0.6% of Greenland's total land area was utilized for agriculture. Since 2011, the percentage of land used for agriculture has been constant at 0.6%.
- In Greenland, modern agriculture has been practiced for around 100 years. However, in recent years, crops like potatoes and turnips have been cultivated economically, and cattle have been introduced as a specialty meat-producing species. Traditionally, sheep farming and the production of grass for fodder have been the core of production.
