Cuba underwent the loss of over half of its oil imports and survived, after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990. Cuba's successes so that what they had done wouldn't be lost. We can learn more about Cuba's transition from large farms or plantations and reliance on fossil-fuel-based pesticides and fertilizers, to small organic farms and urban gardens. Cuba was undergoing a transition from a highly industrial society to a sustainable one.
