Inventions such as the heavy plow, geology (heavier soil, coal deposits), and climate all in the end proved advantageous for northern Europe. For most of history however, the Mediterranean had been the more prosperous region.
What means are there to improve the position of the Mediterranean region compared to northern Europe? What improvements in say agriculture (to boost population) and what kind of utilization of resources could help narrow (though probably not prevent unless you remove the industrial revolution) the gap between the north and the south? How can you make the Mediterranean stronger?
