How can we feed a world of 9 billion people? Some say agricultural intensification (high-input, high-technology, high-investment) is the way to go; others claim that the only strategy is to return to agro-ecological methods. The field course, “International Studies on Sustainable Agriculture in Cuba” explores Cuba’s rapid transition to sustainable agriculture within half a decade. Through experiential learning and network development, you will come to understand the power of this tiny island nation’s message.
