Working with farmers in Cuba: Yunielvis Muñoz Guerra’s story
The garden quickly became a lifeline. Khadija now grows papaya, banana, onion, pumpkin, tomato, chili pepper and sweet potato nutrient-rich crops selected for their suitability to the local climate and their importance in daily diets. With efficient water-use practices introduced through the project, she manages the garden year-round; staggering planting and harvesting fresh produce is available throughout the month. Vegetables that once had to be bought, if money allowed, are now harvested just steps from her home.
