CUBA: City Farms Planned To Ease Food Shortages.
GUARDIAN.UK/ The government has unveiled a five-year plan for growing fruits, vegetables and raising livestock in four mile-wide rings around 150 of Cuba's cities and towns except Havana. The hope is to make food cheaper and abundant, cut transportation waste and costs and encourage city dwellers to leave bureaucratic jobs. The pilot program is now underway in Camaguey in central Cuba.
