    Wow! I had no idea. I would have thought that per capita Spain would have a larger people to land ratio, but maybe that's not the question here. Maybe because Switzerland has a much colder climate they have decided to import foods. But I think there are a lot of ways to adapt to growing vegetables in colder climates still...

    I find this as a very good idea, I live in Uk and enjoy many of the products that come from the spain country and they are pretty good, now that you are sure that the products are certified and are great for the health too, so keep on going with those measures
