Cuba: urban agriculture in times of coronavirus
Audio 02:31
By: Domitille Piron
Producing more in a world with an economy heavily affected by the coronavirus crisis, this is Cuba's objective! The island imports more than 80% of its food, so facing the Covid-19, the country intends to revive its agriculture. Food production was already seriously affected by the country's economic difficulties with a lack of fuel and the absence of fertilizer. Cuba could therefore find salvation in short circuits, organic and urban agriculture. Report in Havana.
