Urban Agriculture In Havana Cuba Describes the growth of sustainable, urban agriculture to confront the food shortages of the 1990s. http://www.cityfarmer.org/cuba.html#cuba
Extractions: Fall 1996, Vol. 5, No. 22 Scott Chaplowe, MA, conducted graduate field research in Cuba in November 1994 and August 1995 for his masters thesis in geography at UCLA. He has recently worked with WSAA Los Angeles as a writer and editor on the United Nations' report, The Emerging Role of NGOs in African Development , and on the upcoming WSAA book, For All Generations: Making World Agriculture More Sustainable With the collapse of the Soviet Bloc and its economic support in 1989 as well as the tightening up of the US economic embargo, Cuba suddenly plunged into its worst economic crisis since the 1959 Revolution. Officially dubbed the Special Period in Time of Peace , the ongoing economic crisis has had a devastating impact on Cuban food security. Cuban agriculture, which was highly dependent on chemical inputs from the Soviet Union, suddenly confronted a reduction of over 50% in oil, fertilizer, and pesticide imports. Meanwhile, food imports also dropped off as Cuba's total import bill shrank by up to 70% between 1989 and 1993. As Fidel Castro himself stated in 1991: "The food question has the number one priority." The effects of the Special Period and consequent food shortages have had greatest repercussions in the city of Havana. With approximately 2.5 million people, Havana has about one fifth of Cuba's total population and is the largest city in the Caribbean. In addition to the decline in food production needed to serve the capital, there is also a shortage of petroleum necessary to transport, refrigerate, and store food available from the rural agricultural sector. Thus, it is no surprise that Havana has been designated as a priority in the National Food Program; urban gardening has figured critically among the many measures taken to enhance food security.
