CUBA and URBAN GARDENING
What is the potential for growing our own food? Sheila Dillon looks at the Mayor of London?s new project to make more land available for food production. She also looks at the experience of Cuba where political and economic change forced the population to attempt an ?organic revolution? as the country struggled to produce enough food to survive. One response was to grow more food in urban areas.
This experience has struck a chord with UK groups interested in "peak oil" food production, and the film The Power of Community: How Cuba survived Peak Oil has toured the UK to enthusiastic audiences.
So what can we learn from Cuba and how productive could urban farming be in the UK?
