democracynow.org - Over the past 25 years, Cuba has built a largely organic farming system out of necessity. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba lost its main supplier of fertilizers and pesticides. What will the changing U.S.-Cuban relationship mean for Cuban farmers? We air a video report from a farm outside Havana produced by Democracy Now!'s Karen Ranucci and Monica Melamid. We also speak to filmmaker Catherine Murphy, who has studied Cuba's agricultural system.

That man is right just because large agriculture companies produce doesn't mean they solve the hunger problem because of the distribution of food. I think we should practice more organic, sustainable methods.

@DukeGMOLOL 5 лет назад

Organic is not sustainable, you should wish for local, efficient farms.

Why are we trying to get Cuban's to learn our agricultural processes when we are the ones who should be learning their organic techniques?!

@DukeGMOLOL 5 лет назад

Outdated organic farming is environmental vandalism. Cuba will abandon this organic folly if they ever become free.

I wouldn't trust Capitalism as far as I could see them. Keep Cuban socialism. Cuban's grow the food for Cuban's.

Capitalism and Socialism are both equally useless, as you will always have people that are there to promote their own self-interest at the expense of others. Capitalism and socialism both succeed when people are being smart, and they both fail when people are being idiots.

@DukeGMOLOL 5 лет назад

Blubbering horseshit Blair. You should have said 'keep Cuban poverty". Cuba imports much of its food.

What types of lettuce and cabbage do you grow? I am impressed with your work. I would like to visit to see this for myself, but most of the money I have to travel is to my spouse's country the Philippines.

Another example of a film by people who do not know what the hell they're talking about. "Organic" farming is "thriving" in Cuba because they cannot afford machinery, fuel, fertilizer and pesticides. Whoever produced this garbage should have to cut sugar cane by hand for a year and live off the wages earned.
