DESCRIPTION:When trade relations with the socialist bloc collapsed in 1990, Cuba lost 
 80% of its pesticide and fertilizer imports and half its petroleum -- the 
 mainstays of its highly industrialized agriculture. This led the nation to 
 embark on the largest conversion to organic farming ever attempted. And it 
 succeeded.\n\nThe Greening of Cuba profiles Cuban farmers and scientists 
 working to reinvent a sustainable agriculture, based on ecological 
 principles and local knowledge rather than imported agricultural inputs. In 
 their quest for self sufficiency, Cubans combine time tested traditional 
 methods with cutting edge technology. Told in the voices of campesinos, 
 researchers and organic urban gardeners who are of leading the organic 
 agriculture movement, The Greening of Cuba reminds us that developed and 
 developing nations alike can choose a healthier environment and still feed 
 their people.\n\nDirected and produced by Jaime Kibben.\nSpanish with 
 English subtitles, 38 minutes.\n\nDiscussion will follow the 
 film\n\nDonation: $5 (no one turned away)\n\n\nThis event is sponsored by 
 Human Agenda \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/04/06/18710902.php
