Cuba | Cuba's Organic Revolution with Peter Ruddock
Altruvistas is excited to partner with Peter Ruddock to provide a immersive Support for the Cuban People journey that comprehensively examines Cuba’s dramatic transition into agroecological farming practices. Be inspired as we meet with representatives from institutions that made this shift possible. We will see firsthand what happens when national policy prioritizes organic farming and remediating hunger. Learn about how Cuba overcame the Special Period and what current challenges are for food sovereignty on the island. Enjoy farm to fork meals, and the wonderful Cuban culture.
Peter Ruddock is a sustainable food advocate and small business consultant. He is working toward creating a more sustainable world by changing the way we interact with our environment and with each other. He concentrates on food systems change, because given that everyone eats, everyone should be able to relate to a healthier, more sustainable food system. He believes that there are four areas where he can best work on fostering this change: educating people about sustainability; creating a resilient local economy; creating vibrant local communities; and changing policies to foster such changes. He is active in a number of grass-roots non-profits to help accomplish these goals: Slow Food, Slow Money, Transition Palo Alto, and the San Mateo County Food System Alliance. He is the Coordinator of the California Food Policy Council.
