Sweden
🇸🇪 Sweden – Challenges in Viticulture and apple production
Welcome!
Explore resources on climate challenges and opportunities in Swedish apple production and cold-climate viticulture.
This page brings together practical insights, research highlights, and real-world examples to support adaptation in perennial fruit systems.
About these resources
Sweden’s conditions for perennial fruit production are rapidly changing due to climate change, creating both challenges and new opportunities. While the emergence of cold-climate viticulture reflects the expansion of grape cultivation in northern regions, Sweden also has a long tradition of apple growing that provides valuable experience for adapting to these conditions.
Both apple orchards and vineyards must respond to increasing climate variability, including shifting growing seasons, extreme weather events, and new pest pressures. By combining established knowledge from apple production with innovations in viticulture, this course explores how perennial cropping systems can be adapted for a more resilient and sustainable future in northern Europe.
You will find materials covering real key issues such as:
- Weather variability
- Pests and diseases
- Cold climate conditions
- Communication and adaptation
