Dating back to medieval times, fruit cultivation in Hardanger in western Norway is rooted in what is portrayed as a perfect microclimate naturally yielding the best apples in the world. However, the viability of the comparatively minute Norwegian fruit trade is continuously threatened by competition from outside, spurring all kinds of initiatives and policies to make it sustainable. The Norwegian fruit landscape, in other words, is both the natural and perfect home of world-class fruit and a site for continuous, often state-driven interventions to make it so; indeed, the perfection of the place accentuates the need to do what it takes to make it thrive. The necessary means to accomplish such viability, however, make up a complex terrain, as the resourcefulness of the Norwegian fruit landscape is ‘measured’ according to very different units.

自然资源及其单位

追溯到中世纪，挪威西部哈当厄尔的水果种植植根于被描绘为完美的小气候，自然会产生世界上最好的苹果。然而，相对较小的挪威水果贸易的生存能力不断受到来自外部竞争的威胁，促使各种举措和政策使其可持续发展。换句话说，挪威的水果景观既是世界级水果的天然和完美之家，也是一个持续不断的、通常由国家驱动的干预措施来实现这一目标的地方；事实上，这个地方的完美凸显了尽其所能使其繁荣发展的必要性。然而，实现这种生存能力的必要手段构成了一个复杂的地形，因为挪威水果景观的资源丰富性是根据非常不同的单位来“衡量”的。
