Cuba Study Trip

In May, 2000, several PFI members were part of a group that visited Cuba.  The trip was sponsored by Iowa State University and its intended purpose was to explore institutional relationships around research, education and extension.   Practical Farmers of Iowa was included as a model of farmer-to-farmer communication and because of its interest in sustainable agricultural systems.  Cuba is pursuing a sustainable agriculture that features input-substitution, integrated farming systems, and urban farming.
