Mayabeque, Cuba: The cultural attentions applied by producers of the Credits and Services Cooperative (CCS) América Libre, of Melena del Sur, to the bean plantations augur a good harvest despite the effects at the country level of the Trip of the Bean flower.
The implementation of the budgets of agroecology and the ancestral knowledge of those who till the land support the success of America Libre, amid the severe damage to the crops of some varieties of legumes that since last year have been reported as a consequence of that plague.
As an alternative, they use the corn barrier and duplicate the biological media of the Entomophage and Entomopathogens Reproductive Center (CREE).
In this way they achieve self-sufficiency for the associates, fulfill the social mandate and save the country limited resources due to the economic blockade, which has a significant impact on agriculture.
The experience of the CCS América Libre can be extended and be an endorsement for those who seek healthy food.
