Now I really want to spend a vacation in Cuba to eat organic salads hahaha.

Humbertos, and those that work along side him are accomplishing great things. The organic crops look delicious, and the sharing of seeds and cross breeding to create healthier plants will hopefully prove to be even more successful than initially expected. I hope that more will follow his example, and the citizens of Cuba, and many other countries will reap the rewards.
