Witness an entire nation transforming its agriculture from mechanized-petro-dependent to organic techniques. THE 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. 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.
