Interesting BBC video documentary
Here at Openhand, we've been talking about global lack of resilience in the food chain - that most countries depend too much on an ever dwindling supply of oil and the enormous risks that poses. Here is an interesting BBC documentary about Cuba and what happened to it when their supply of oil from the Soviet Union was switched off overnight in the nineties. They're now the ONLY completely self-sustaining country in food and energy on the planet. It's a thoroughly interesting documentary although you'll have to overlook some slightly judgmental comments by the narrator about what is an acceptable diet! Of course it's difficult sometimes to see through the veils of the typical western illusion! Enjoy...
