Falkland Islands (Malvinas)

The Falkland Islands’ harsh climate and rocky terrain made large-scale agriculture difficult, but early settlers introduced crops like potatoes, grown in small garden plots near settlements. After the 1982 Falklands War, the British government invested in infrastructure, improving agriculture and introducing new farming techniques. This led to the cultivation of potatoes and other crops, helping diversify the local economy.

Today, agriculture in the Falklands blends traditional and modern methods, with potatoes grown in various regions using advanced techniques to overcome environmental challenges. This development showcases the resilience of the Falkland Islands' agricultural sector and its role in supporting the local economy.
