Years of isolation and short stocks of fossil fuels have created agricultural practices in Cuba that are radically organic.
Al Jazeera’s Nick Clark reports from Havana.
Ha chemical fert isn't the old ways! Organic is the oldest way , as long as history itself.
It's been a blessing in disguise..
Don't fall for chemicals Cuba. With greedy food you'll get greedy cancer.
Years of isolation ? years of embargoes and sanctions It should said.
+slash946 did you not see the video, you turd? chemicals in farming are less than 70yrs old; in human's life span that means 'new'. all those ppl can feed themselves with a gradual return to farming
lots of it is done in urban areas, douche.Contrary to myths about the superiority of Genetially Engineered (GE) crop yields, most yield gains in recent years are due to traditional breeding or improvement of other agricultural practices.

GE has also turned farms into monocultures and wrecked variation of plant varieties, it has increased the use of insecticides ahd herbicides.. leading to super-weeds and pests that are becoming ever more difficult to remove.
The problem is not GMO in itself, it is that GE organisms are produced for profits for mega corps, rather than for human needs or environmental sustainability.
Viva Cuba
We can buy their organic food for us to eat and then sell them our GMO crap.
Só trouxa pra acreditar em maquiagem cubana.
