Johnny McPherson read about how important organic agriculture was, and is, to food security in Cuba. But when he went to Havana, expecting to see bounties of organic produce, the unavoidable quantity of street pizzas and ham sandwiches made him curious. Does organic agriculture really keep Cuba fed? Maybe the question wasn't so much about understanding food security, as much as food sovereignty
In this episode, Dr. Bob Huish chats with Johnny McPherson about food sovereignty, what it is, and what it means to better understanding the connection between agriculture, development, and a tasty meal.
Johnny McPherson has two and a half decades of technical and policy experience working in both government and private enterprise. He is a distinguished alumnus of the United States Department of State’s International Leadership Program. His Master’s in International Development Studies focused on the social, political and economic factors of food sovereignty in Cuba.
