The 2011 Swarthmore Lecture and Cuban Agriculture

I am surprised that this year’s lecture referred to Cuba’s green revolution as a success story “that is feeding the nation”. Organic farming is a laudable,but small, change in Cuban agriculture but it does not feed the nation. Cuba still imports most of its food and appears to be also committed to genticially modified food. Pam Lunn and others please take note. In our wish to be greener than green, we should not veer from our Quaker concern for Truth. For a balanced view of Cuban agriculture, follow the attached link.
