It is not a coincidence that Norway is a winter sport nation. It is also not a coincidence that our athletes come from all over the country, ranging from small hamlets to large cities.
We have made a political choice to maintain settlements across the entire country. The same areas that provide us with cross-country and biathlon skiers are also the areas where the lion's share of small-scale food production takes place.
When we support local producers, we support more than just food on the table. We support living mini-communities, jobs, and a structure that makes it possible to live and work in all parts of Norway.
It is not a coincidence. But it is also not something we can take for granted.
