[p2p-research] the Cuban agricultural revolution

[Matt Boggs]

A friend 'snuck' me into Cuba many years ago while I was vacationing in
Florida one winter, long fun story, but to the point:
I made easy friends while I was there who spoke English. I got the nickel
tour when I asked them how they managed to feed everybody. Gardens
everywhere, some permaculture practices, though I was not aware of the term
until recently. Same went for meat production. I went into what looked like
a high rise apartment building. Inside, they had three types of animals;
chickens, rabbits and hamsters. I think the rabbits were on the top of the
food chain and then what they crapped out was funneled down to the chickens
to eat who then in turn, crapped out the hamster meal...minimal waste. I may
have a documentary somewhere about Cuba's food production but I'm not
finished unpacking at the new place :-)

Not me, but sounds interesting if it is online?
