Eat for a living and dwell in the city? Then you really need to come to Cuba to witness first hand her cutting edge urban farming practices! When the Soviet Union collapsed and Cuba lost access to farm chemicals and inputs, her system of food production had to be reinvented overnight. This happened most quickly in the cities. By 1999, the Grupo de Agricultura Orgánica in Cuba was awarded the Alternative Nobel Prize – the Right Livelihood Award – by the Swedish Parliament for urgan agriculture.

Put together a group of 15-20 people and we will design a special tour just for you! See the best of Cuba’s organic urban agriculture sector. Attend lectures by Fernando Funes. Visit Alamar and Finca Marta. Munch your way thru vibrant farmers markets and Havana’s outstanding paladares (private restaurants). Take a salsa lesson. Visit one of Cuba’s biosphere reseves. And – of course! – enjoy a few days at the beach!
