Seeds in the City

Richard Phinney

Learn the remarkable story of the people of Havana and how they averted a food-shortage disaster by creating thousands of urban farms in a city better known for its music and nightlife. Faced with food shortages and widespread hunger, Cuban city dwellers began growing food wherever possible: on rooftops, in schoolyards and in front of office buildings.
