Cuban Start-Up Cultivates Microgreens to Fight Food Crisis

Cuban Start-Up Cultivates Microgreens to Fight Food Crisis

In a poor neighborhood in Havana, Cuba, a company called Enparalelo is growing microgreens.

Microgreens are small, healthy vegetables.

They grow them in shipping containers.

They then sell them to restaurants.

This company also teaches people in the community how to grow their own microgreens.

The company provides seeds and materials.

The residents can then sell their microgreens back to the company or to others.

It's a way to help people have better food and make some money during a difficult economic time.

The company even won an award for its innovative solution.
