Near the end of our tour, we visited an organic farm on the outskirts of Havana. One of the first benefits was the ability to taste tropical fruits that I had not had since my last trip to the Amazon! Here I am with one of my favorites - coconut water directly from the coconut.
The farm is a research center, fairly well supplied with computers and other equipment.
We enjoyed an organic feast!
It was a little startling to see these indicators of the support of the European Union and the German World Hunger Aid agency. This was a reminder of how much the U.S. embargo has become an oddity in the world community.
Raised-bed and other techniques were on display in
this world-class facility for research on organic farming.
