- When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990s, the country faced an immediate crisis - feeding the population - and an ongoing challenge: how to create a new low-energy society. This film tells the story of the Cuban people's hardship, ingenuity, and triumph over sudden adversity - through cooperation, conservation, and community.

I've watched this documentary countless times and held screenings at least three times. What an inspiration! We need to take stories like this seriously! Cuba is ahead of us all. I pray one day to visit and learn from you all. Solidarity in the fight to save humanity!
i've been! go now it's changing massively and becoming industrial and monoplised by chinese investment. Don't wait, it wont be the same in 10 years time
I think that it should be mentioned that in Cuba, people currently live longer than in any other country on Earth.
that... isnt true. They are close to the top though.
One of the major takeaways is the social structure enabled transition by providing subsidised food until food production improvised and ensuring that healthcare and education is free. Even better they reinforced the social services by expanding it within the new social structure.
Minimal poor quality food rations, free doctors with no medications or supplies, free education with no jobs or opportunities is Not a Pleasant way of life. Existing is not living
Cuba can be a model to communities on how to protect agricultural environment and sustain food security among their people. 👏👏🌞❤️💪
Cuba has had to do this because it's closed off Socialist Society with no democracy
@@nunnagodforgivesodont7177 That's what our government wants to do to us!
This is so eye opening, 2022 America is wild right now, this gives me great Insight of a great community that pulled itself together in little notice during times of hardship... the lessons derived here in.. are almost infathomly valuable to anybody living today
We surely will have a better world . I visited Cuba some years ago and was so proud of the peolle and how perma culture and urban growing had saved them and continue to do so. What was supposed to ruin this island in fact is the most possitive example for humanity today. May you all be blessed
The Cuban people are a testament to the people centric essence of socialism✨ a nation of innovators who embody humanity's best qualities. Viva la revolucion Cubana🇨🇺⚒️✊🏿
Akaz if it's that great go move to Cuba on a Permanent basis, being told how to think, where to work and owning nothing
What an inspiring and creative approach to tackling these shortages challenge!
Back to lap of mother nature. Got me back to my childhood.
Keep up the fantastic work, and let's all work together to protect our planet!
That soil being plowed by the oxen looks beautiful and dark.! The rest of the world could take some of these lessons and feed everyone.
Brad, your comments are niave to say the least, Socialist Countries don't work
Very good Documentary..
And then they began importing food after "opening up" to US agriculture. Cuba needs to watch this video to remind themselves how good they were
Study Online if Cuba is that great go live there on a permanent basis
@@nunnagodforgivesodont7177 I'd move there in the blink of an eye.
We (USA) need to take notes on Cuba farming. No affordable fertilizer or fuel thanks to Mr. Potato Head. I’m watching every blog on Cuba farming organic techniques .
And healthcare!
And no Freedom of thought, no freedom of information and no right to own private property, Sounds good?
@@nunnagodforgivesodont7177 That's out of date: "In 2011, new laws where enacted to expand the right to private property. In 2019, a new Constitution was approved which officially recognizes the right to private property, while also reassuring the central government's authority over the regulation of production and land.In 2011, new laws where enacted to expand the right to private property. In 2019, a new Constitution was approved which officially recognizes the right to private property, while also reassuring the central government's authority over the regulation of production and land." Better than being run as a gambling resort by the CIA, like before the revolution, also.
@@nunnagodforgivesodont7177 Revising our farming techniques has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any of that junk you mentioned.
Inspiring!!
From Lenin to Kropotkin within 10 years... Nice!
Absolutely h elpful video contents! Thank you for sharing.. ❤😊😊Glad that whole communtyi,mproved! God bless!
It has NOT for most of the population
we are all going to experience that in the best case scenario
amazing Cuba !!!
That was very interesting
Interesting to watch this in 2022 right before the orchestrated global food shortages. Get planting asap
I fully agree. People can see what's happening, they must know it's going to get much, much worse...yet still they don't believe and therefore won't act. I've been a prepp#r since after nineeleven. I have a partner who needs to go, I'm hiring help for my homestead while he watches football, and talks about his pension and the working boom in heavy construction. I have been showing him the evidence for almost ten years...we're here and I should feel much more ready...but I'm very alone, just me and all my materials for a (mostly) self sufficient fortress. I wish I had the strength of a man and the ingenuity of a DIY Jack of all trades...I'd be honing my skills. Thanks for letting me vent. Craigslist ads can be a nightmare but I need a new man pl@n!
P.s. please read my other comment here if you are so inclined...thoughts? Sounds crazy but I don't think it will sound so nutty if we get to that point. Blessings.
I have! Even in Dec we have collards, cabbage, green onions, carrots, kale, spinach and some peppers!
@@TwoPartyIllusion know the feeling of being alone without the manpower you need. good luck sweetie
2:10 Cuba is exemplary in many ways
#FeedingOthersisLove Good food is local
alguien sabe la cancion en el intro? anyone know the song at the beginning?
I’ve been saying it’s time to circle the wagons for years now. I think it’s about to come to fruition. Know your local farmers!
And learn to barter!
Its 2021 and Cuba's food crisis is as bad as its ever been. Over time the population has to balance out with the local resources
Because they allowed in US agriculture giants
@@studyonline4763 okay thanks for clearing that up. When will we ever learn?
Are there no beekeepers in Cuba?
"Watching out for number one" has become the mantra for societal failure
Thank you for posting this! I see the rabbits and Guinea pigs...I'm only about halfway through; I'm curious if they will mention cooking " vermin" type dishes. I.e. squrriels and (don't freak) rats? The 2 I mentioned here eat as well as my livestock, are free range, and very healthy looking. In times of famine any protien is better than no protein. At least that's how I've been conditioning my family as this growing season has the possibility to be as bad as last years. Thoughts? P.s. lots of people eat small game in the u.s., and I've seen people in south America, Africa and S.E. Asia eating the scorned rat...happily. where are you from friend? Thoughts? T.y. again!
LLL look
13:34 Isn't that the ship that blocked the Suez Canal?
Is there pedel power in cuba?

PEAK OIL? Looks like we never really ran out did we?
Now as far as what the people are doing with organic farming in cuba, I say Bravo! Well done and yes a good example of how it can and should be done! I dont agree with Communist ideologies but the people of cuba are hard working and full of spirit.
It's because they didn't saw the shale oil coming. The USA production of shale oil allowed the world oil peak to be postponed by 10 or 15 years. It's possible that this new peak was reached in 2018.
Remember that extracting oil will have an end, as there is not infinite ressources on our Earth. Even if a new kind of oil is found/exploited, there will be a peak no matter what.
It’s said in the video that peak oil does not mean it is running out, it’s just productions starting to decline.
Oil discovery has been declining, while oil consumption continues to increase. Think about where that leads.
More recent oil discoveries, such as the shale fields in the US, also tend to be more difficult (and costly) to extract. This essentially means we need to use more and more energy to get less and less energy in return. Again, think about where this leads.
We need to create ecovillages and populate them with people who currently live on the street. We need to recycle our organic waste into biofuel. 'Homeless' people are not a 'problem' - they are a tragic waste of an extremely valuable resource.
Cuba needs to start moving there dairie around in large herds. Create a mobil milking system. Follow these herds with poultry. 6 week fryers. Incorporate movable egg layers.
ACROSS THE WHOLE ISLAND.
And biogas energy production.
Plant coco for lard. Shading the ground. Aqua culture,
William Bruyette: Don't forget about the beekeepers.
Maybe we need to get the Cubans to tell us what to do?
Canada has," much to learn" about collective economics.
A wounded animal is worse than before and Cuba is still being bitten.Bite back Cuba!! The enemy is still in the shadows stalking whom he may destroy.Walk responsibly but carry your big stick( persistence).🤔😠
He is wrong about no one fertilizer the forest.
Natural system in corporations of wild animals.
Sea fish like salmon are taken to the tops of mountains by eagles. Bears etc.
It is nature it self that with in its system is self fertilizer.
By "forest" he was likely including the wild animals cycling nutrients in the system
It's an old documentary. But they did take in Australia's top permaculturists of that time, so they practiced it without many of them realizing it.
Hahahahaa. Noone fertilize the forest. The eagles and bears have no idea what they're doing. Read between the lines man.
He's mostly right, no one fertilizes the forest besides foresters? Or permaculture food foresters

Black africka must go to Cuba and see how they live and come away with some know the ledge on how to be self-sufficient
Watch a yt channel called yoel&mari . They show Cuba what it is like today etc.., and it is not good. Yoel married Mari and they r in the states now cuz Mari is an American and they go through all his 1sts. According to him, it is I to eat beef. If a cow dies it goes to the gov for tourists and they r not allowed to fish the ocean. So maybe it was diff in 2006 when this was made but now it is not good. So I can see this movie is pro Cuba but rem this is only talking about one side of the situation, they rnt talking about all the horrendous crap that is going on over there right now in 2022.
yes, the whole world is under a sinister spell right now, when it's over you'll see an amazing transformation if you manage to live through the worst of it.
human choice decentralization; God's kingdom central authority
Yes. Honey is a major export item for Cuba, and the bees are the primary pollinators of their crops.
Cuba hasn't survived anything yet they still in a hell of a struggle except for the politicians , we will be the same if we keep giving up our rights
I give you the inflation reduction act
America and the world's future, except its not from communism, it'll be from capitalism.
Felix you are 100% correct Dopey Westerners still think countries like Cuba are a workers paradise and where people love and care for each other, very stupid
Cuba is under a criminal trading blockade that has cost them over a trillion dollars in total
Great. The best choice is to follow #Cuba?!!!!
you can know what works by the result.
@@devidasi5206 EXACTLY. Cuba?
