Venezuela Organic Revolution

As some of you may recall back in October I wrote an article on the Cuban Organic Revolution. Well it seems that some folks in Venezuela also see the benefit to urban organic farming. Sure, as of yesterday it basically became a full fledged socialist/dictator run country, but at least they will be eating good food in an environmentally friendly way! Have a look at the pictures on the BBC’s website. There are a couple interesting things you may note… they control insects with some sticky nettle juice on a plate (the bugs get stuck to it) and they make their own fertilizer with casings from worm farms. Pretty neat stuff. Thanks to Shamus for sending me the link.
