It's labor-intense, low-energy farming which helps a much healthier life-style than in most other countries. They really took the bad and made something highly interesting out of it.    --- - Firlefanz Mystical Adventures Hannah Steenbock Hannah Steenbock's Forum 8/24/2009, 2:30 pm Send Email to Firlefanz   Send PM to Firlefanz TexasMadness Administrator Global user (premium) Registered: 03-2007 Location: Austin, Texas Posts: 2519 Reply | Quote Re: Urban Farms in Havanna Wow, that's so neat! It's unfortunate that is seems humans have to truly crash before they develop good systems like that. There are so many things buoying the American economy (as bad as it is) that this sort of revolution is not likely to happen. It sure would be amazing if it did though!

The food would be better, fresher and big agro would have less of a market.

In the eighties though, commerce bought up a lot of the land used, and made money out of it. The renters of the allotments had no say in it, and lost a valuable food source. --- 8/29/2009, 3:04 pm   Add a reply Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat You are not logged in (login)      Board's time is: 11/29/2009, 11:39 pm
