A Real Look at Community Living

I learned that it is important to understand a system before engaging with it, whether it is an ecosystem or a person... Cuba showed me what people can do by relying on each other. Cuba being a small island that has been truncated financially by the United States is a real example of resilience and community driven solutions. Because of their limited resources, Cubans must make use of everything with as much efficiency as possible and maintain the quality of their resources over time. This results in amazing solutions and innovations for agriculture such as crop rotations and water management solutions. Ecothropic showcases these unique and resourceful aspects of Cuba through direct access to the people creating them. Which is the most valuable way of learning in my opinion.
