The climate here is not economically competitive, we have fairly large toll walls and subsidies to protect local farmers. In a completely free market, most food production would be outcompeted by foreign goods.
This does of course make food much more expensive for us than strictly needed, but it also gives a safe supply.

Food prices are ridiculous in Norway. While I can agree with the need to subsidise local food production, grocery bills really need to shrink.
