What Can We Learn from Cuba's Organic Farms? video
This 6-minute video highlights the success of Cuban farmers in growing their food using organic agriculture practices.

Out of necessity, they began producing their own food without fertilizers, pesticides, or fuel for tractors. See the successes, benefits, and challenges of organic agriculture practices.
