Description
CUBA HAS GONE GREEN AND LOCAL in terms of agriculture! No pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used and urban agriculture supplies 90% of the produce available to Havana alone. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union and its dependence on food aid, Cuba had to think fast and make some dramatic changes. Through crisis came enormous opportunity and now there are pastures of plenty indeed.
