One of the many farmers’ markets scattered across the island of Cuba, supplying fresh, organically and locally-grown produce to supplement the basic ration to which all Cubans are entitled as one of their economic, civil and human rights.

We will study Cuba’s unique social and environmental justice policies and practice. (A trip extension is being arranged for those who want to remain in Cuba for May Day activities.)
