I just got back from the wonderful Nashville conference and saw this! While
this is an announcement of a new publication and may be
considered "advertising," it is sufficiently non-mainstream that it is

Cultivating Havana:
Urban Agriculture and Food Security in the Years of Crisis
IFDP Development Report no. 12
By Catherine Murphy
This 58-page report explains in detail the success of the urban agriculture
movement in Havana as part of Cuba's national transformation to sustainable
agriculture. With over 8,000 hectares of urban farms, 25,000 urban farmers,
and hundreds of researchers and extension workers, Havana has become a world
leader in urban agriculture. This report is a must read for both Cuba policy
and sustainable development professionals, and is ideal for educators and
course adoptions.
