English term or phrase: short growing season
スウェーデン人の、料理に対する好奇心の強さの理由を説明した文章で、One obvious factor is the short growing season that makes Swedes yearn for variation.という風に使われています。どのような意味になるか、教えてください。
TF (X)
（植物が育つ）栽培期が短いこと
Explanation:
I guess you're translating this page. Due to the limited period of plant's growth in a year, Swedes have to import food from abroad. This is explained in the following sentence: Importing foreign foods has long been a necessity rather than a luxury. Here, "necessity" suggests the limited resource in fresh food.

栽培期、生育期


Explanation:
文脈が詳しく分からないので推測になりますが、スウェーデンの気候は暖かい期間が短いので、作物の栽培期間が短いことを指すのではないでしょうか。そのため、様々な料理（材料）を欲している、または限られた種類の材料でいろいろな料理を作りたい、ということではないでしょうか。
