A Cuban start-up has begun cultivating and distributing microgreens – young vegetable seedlings – to restaurants in Havana. The initiative addresses food insecurity within the city’s lower-income neighborhoods. The company’s operations provide a small, localized source of fresh produce, aiming to supplement existing food supplies for families struggling with economic hardship. While the exact financial impact is currently unknown, the project represents a potential strategy for bolstering local food access and potentially creating employment opportunities within underserved communities. The initiative is focused on providing a readily available and nutritious food option for those with limited access to fresh produce.
