Cuba and farming

I read an article about Cuba and there farming on cnn.com and there was a quote that said "The industrialized world can learn that its dependency on oil will eventually push it through similar experiences to that which Cuba had to face in the 1990's, and with similar outcomes," says Julia Wright, author of "Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security in an Era of Oil Scarcity: Lessons from Cuba." I found this very intersting since many places have hit their peak oil and should decided to take actions now before its to late.
