When other nations are forced to rethink their agricultural and food security strategies in light of the post-peak oil debate, they only have one living example to draw from: that of Cuba in the 1990s. This book examines how Cuba successfully headed off its own food crisis after the dissolution of the Soviet Bloc in the early 1990s.
