"Cuba has addressed the problem of urban food production in crowded cities
with some
success if news reports are to be believed." said Bob Howard

Just a note to let you all know about a new book on this subject recently
added to the
Permaculture Activist
mailorder list

Sustainable Agriculture and Resistance: Transforming Food Production in Cuba,
edited
by Fernando Funes, Luis Garcia, Martin Bourque, Nilda Perez, and Peter
Rosset, 2002,
307pp, $19 (from Permaculture Activist, PO Box 1209, Black Mountain, NC
28711), Cuban
researchers describe a successful nation-scale conversion to organic
agriculture after
their economy kicked the petroleum "habit" cold-turkey in 1991. Detailed
thorough, and
amazing with valuable lessons for the U.S. and the world.
