Cubadebate reported today that in a tour of farming communities in Mayabeque province(western region), the Brazilian writer and popular educator was concerned about the food distribution process and its links with schools, children's institutions, maternal homes and families.
In addition, in the Zaragoza community he could see the exploitation of the soil by the farmers, who use small plots of land.
"I leave this place very impressed and happy to know that these farms are examples of Food Sovereignty and Nutritional Education in this country, which has all the potential to become independent in terms of food," Frei Betto said.
