THE POWER OF COMMUNITY: Urban Organic Farming in Cuba

2008-04-12 19:00:00 - 2008-04-12 00:00:00

Dear Friends,

You are invited to see the film

THE POWER OF COMMUNITY

about Urban Organic Farming in Cuba

Saturday, April 12, 7 PM

Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalist Hall

1924 Cedar at Bonita

After the 53 minute film there will be a discussion about

how to organize vegetable gardening here in the East Bay.

Can we grow food in every front and back yard?

Can people with land and skills and strong backs

co-operate to grow and share food?

Members and Friends of the Fellowship plan to grow

food on the land on Bonita Street, and we plan to

invite our neighbors to do the same in their yards.

(We'll fill you in as the plan matures.)

We can grow and share food everywhere.

Cuba had to grow urban organic food starting

in the nineties, when they ran out of gas and

chemicals and subsidies.

And now that gas and food are becoming more

and more expensive here, it is time for us to

become urban farmers.

Let's talk about it, starting on Saturday, April 12.

Yours in Peace and Solidarity
