Cold is no longer an issue for farming with the russians. When the EU banned food exports to Russia back in 2012—the Russians imported high tech north latitude green houses from the dutch. They expect to be exporters of vegetables by the early 2020’s. They currently have greenhouses within the arctic circle. The greenhouses can grow 10 times the number of vegetables on an acre of land that an open air farmland can produce.
same thing is going in north america. I buy my tomatoes from canada which is the second largest exporter of vegetables to the USA after mexico. the vegetables come from greenhouses. there are lots of green houses too in alaska.

“Greenhouses that could benefit from this technology are springing up throughout the Arctic: The Japanese company JGC Evergreen produces 1,000 tons of cucumbers and tomatoes in Siberia”
“Modular Farms, an Ontario-based greenhouse company, has developed 400-square-foot containers that can produce thousands of hydroponically grown leafy greens”

Hothouse tomatoes? Mealy and flavorless. No thanks.
