At least the author admits to be a watermelon, Green on the outside Communist Red on the inside. Here a wikipedia to Cuba's rations allotments;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_Cuba

The author states:

"it now produces the majority of its fresh fruit and vegetables—even much of its meat."

How can Cuba produce meat to provide for its citizens? Well it is pretty easy when only once every two weeks, at best, a Cuban will receive only a 1/2 lb of meat or a 1 lb of chicken.

This is laughable.

I’m sure Iowa farmers can hardly wait to hand-plant sweet potatoes...

What Cuba Can Teach Us About Food and Climate Change...

...that if you are a communist outpost located only 90 miles from the United States that you can get all the backing that you want (including food) from the larger communist countries?

...that if you measure adherence to socialist-driven ‘Climate Change’ goals by the amount of gas and coal that you don’t use (because you’re too poor to buy them), and ignore the amount of wood that you burn in their place, that you can game the numbers?

Raj Patel can get back to me when liberal boat people start making the trip from Palm Beach to Havana to escape the climate sins perpetrated here.

Juan of the Dead is a unique Cuban zombie movie. It makes many jokes about the “special period” and its shortages, like “yes, the dead are coming back, but it isn’t as bad as the special period, so we don’t need to eat the cats yet.”

Hilarious pandering commie loving article. Cuba has HIGH TECH farming? What a laugh!! They use manual labor in virtually every operation— labor intensive, grossly poorly paid near slaves (actual slaves of the state farms, actually) to plant and to harvest even the simplest vegetable crops, and cannot support themselves with what they grow.

This article is a flat out scamming lie.

“Unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides that 20th-century agriculture had taken for granted, the country faced extreme weather events and a limit to the land and water it could use to grow food.”

What a moronic and tortured sentence. And what a pathetic attempt to insert “climate change” into the discussion.

The “extreme weather” came about as a result of no chemicals!!

Y’know something about Cavemen???

Cavemen had pure rich air to breathe
Cavemen had crystal clear clean pure water
Cavemen had food grown organically
Cavemen had free range animals to hunt and eat

Cavemen were lucky to live past 30
