Cuba has provided a model for urban farming and a potential solution for some of the challenges faced by small islands especially with climate change issues at the forefront of development and sustainability.
According to this story, Cuba is the most sustainably developed country in the world. These findings were presented in new report launched on November 29th 2019 by the SDI (Sustainable Development Index).

Based on the most recent figures, from 2015, Cuba is top with a score of 0.859, while Venezuela is 12th and Argentina 18th. The SDI was created to update the Human Development Index (HDI), developed by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq and used by the United Nations Development Programme to produce its annual reports since 1990.

💧WORLD WATER DAY:
As a Caribbean-born persons, we have a uniquely special relationship with water. Our entire lives were shaped by this force of Nature, in all its forms. We grew up surrounded by it. The rivers and seas were recreation, livelihood; it was for some, religion carrying offerings to ancient deities, and the power to baptize with life anew.
Indeed, water is the path that sailed our ancestors into a new and uncertain future.
That future has come. And today, as we celebrate World Water Day, we make a new commitment to do all that we can to protect, preserve and equitably harness this life-giving source, so that future generations will write the same of us.

SMALL FARMING - Fighting World Hunger 🥬🍅🌽🥥

St. Kitts & Nevis 🇰🇳
The island states of St Kitts & Nevis might not be the kind of player one would expect in the ring of farming & agriculture. Its diminutive size alone would render any large-scale farming unlikely, owing to it being only 104 sq ft in combined size. Like much of the Caribbean, tourism accounts for a significant part of its gross domestic product, but more than 3/4 of the profits leave the island and the people reap none of the benefits.
The CFBC (Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College) in St. Kitts has applied some encouraging statistics from the fight against world hunger to propel affordable farming initiatives there. World hunger has dropped by more than 200 million affected people between 2000 - 2015, and according to Prof. Kevin Meehan of the University of Central Florida (UCF), small scale agriculture has accounted for nearly all of that 20% of that decrease!
Currently, St. Kitts and Nevis is in the exploratory stages of hydroponics and the diversification of sustainable agriculture. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without using soil (i.e. nutrient solutions). It’s a major change from the traditional ways of doing things on the islands, but hopefully if presented in fact-driven, and cost-effective ways that it will be embraced by farmers, not easily convinced otherwise. The goal? National food security, improved population health, sustainability, economic viability, and increased productivity.
To date, a hydroponic shade house on the CFBC campus, along with seven organic gardens and bucket hydroponics in Nevis have been established and the work of education, training, and mentorship continues. Check out the local hydroponics projects

Is Green the New Gold?
As economies struggle to recover from global recessions, many are taking a look at ‘Green Economies’ and how it can be applied to remedying the ills and flaws of longer-established economic models. In the broadest sense, this idea of the green economy combines sustainable development, with socio-political thoughts of advancing economic, environmental and social-well being in a less adversarial and more co-dependent way.
What will this look like? Poverty reduction and overall improvement in the quality of lives for people. Re-engineered farming practices that do not harm and deplete ecological balance, and the promotion of practices that do not irreversibly harm our environment.
Most of all, the model of the green economy makes a space for each of us, to adopt one or more if its principles into our daily lives, starting with what we eat, and gently ushering us back into a relationship with the soil. To provide nourishment to our bones, health to our communities, and strength in the numbers needed to reverse a flawed course.

We’re also not sure who came up with the idea of roti, brunch & Film, but we do know that they’re genius! Brooklyn, New York is again the scene of firsts, as the celebrates the last day of its Fifth Anniversary Celebrations! According to its website:
“On Sunday March 17, we will be hosting a restrospective screening of two films made in Guyana in the ’70s and ’80s … The Terror and the Time, and In The Sky’s Wild Noise. The films were made by the Victor Jara Collective, a group of filmmakers inspired by the Chilean artist and activisit. These were the only two films made by the Collective.

The films had not been screened publicly in over 20 years, until we picked them up for our festival in Miami – The Third Horizon Film Festival. Now, for our New York Festival, we are again screening the films … this time, on 16mm prints.

To celebrate being able to watch films on film, we will be hosting a Roti Brunch just prior to the screening. So, come enjoy roti, and then watch the films, and stay for the Q+A, with one of the members of the Collective.

Brunch ticket includes Roti … + curry, drinks, and a ticket to the film retrospective.”

The Caribbean is a place that conjures up a variety of different meanings and images, depending on who’s doing the thinking. The islands were the stomping grounds of swashbuckling pirates burying treasure chests of b***y, the steady supplier of strong and heady casks of rum to colonial kingdoms, and the stimulus for bullion. Those legends of old have given way to a more modern approximation with cocktails, rest, and relaxation. Today, the Caribbean is a vacationer’s Paradise; the exchange of coinage for peace.
Yes, indeed, the Caribbean has inspired centuries of authors’ imaginations. But for the people who call this archipelago ‘home’, those stories are vastly different. They spell out the art resistance, the necessity of survival, the craftiness of invention, and the insistence of self rule.
Today the voices of the Caribbean are telling its own stories, artfully, compassionately, and with such a decisive confidence that as such demands notice, thrills audiences and establishes the right to be and be heard. This intent by her sons and daughters is perhaps best expressed in the popular Kweyol phrase, “nou led, nou la” - “we are ugly, but we’re here.”
Please share in our delight as we highlight some of the upcoming Caribbean film and book festivals dedicated to, hosted by and featuring the storytellers of this generation.
