CUBA: "Seed Man" Wins Prestigious Environmental Prize.

AP/ GOOGLE NEWS/     Humberto Rios Labrada is called the "seed man" for his work in letting Cuban farmers choose the crops and seed varieties best for their lands in a structured economy where officials tell producers just what to grow, even if it's not right for the soil. Rios is the first Cuban ever to win the Goldman. Winners are chosen annually from six regions worldwide and awarded a $150,000 prize.
