Through a letter of congratulations, Army General Raúl Castro Ruz greeted the members of the Movement of Urban, Suburban and Family Agriculture, on the occasion of the 34 years that have passed "since together we promoted the incipient experience of growing vegetables in enriched beds with organic fertilizers ». The leader of the Cuban Revolution recounted how "what was an exception in very few places, gradually spread throughout the country, until reaching the more than 12,640 hectares that today make up the productive base" of that Movement. Recalling how distant it may seem "that moment in the late eighties when we indicated developing and generalizing this method of cultivation," he asserted that "times have undoubtedly changed, but the need to produce food remains intact." , and emphasized these last two years, when the world has experienced one of the worst health crises. "COVID-19 has stopped everything and has put millenary inequalities under the microscope." He highlighted how, "in the midst of this gale, our country, besieged as never before by the United States, has no choice but to move forward by its own forces," and affirmed that "in this battle you, faithful promoters of the sovereignty that is born of the field and the effort ». He described the advances of that popular movement as undeniable. "The 1,300,000 tonnes that are reached today in its different production modalities speaks of how much has been achieved, but also of the potential that we still have," he argued, and then he asked himself: "How much more could we achieve if all the available areas in cities, communities, parcels and patios, or if we can make those that are planted more intensively used? ». “Finding the answers to these questions is the best help we can give our people. Those people who have known how to overcome these hard times and who will once again be victorious, "he assured, before ratifying his confidence in the Movement" to achieve the desired, and above all essential, food security.
