    RECYCLING NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH VEGETABLES NURSERY IN HAVANA. The 27-acre Vivero Alamar is one of Cuba’s most successful neighborhood-managed, worker-owned cooperative urban organic farms. It began in 1997 when Miguel Angel Salcines López, a mid-level Ministry of Agriculture agronomist and the co-op’s current president, asked to use a nine-acre plot of abandoned “waste land.” After he joined forces with others and brought in more workers (the nursery employs 165 people today), production rose from 20 tons of vegetables a year to more than 240 tons today. Ninety percent of the produce is sold directly to the public at markets adjacent to the nursery, and up to 10 percent is dedicated to social purposes, sold to schools and hospitals at reduced prices by contractual agreement.
