	Cuban urban agriculture was reorganised into 4 types. Growing to feed those gardening, including at many work places. Growing with some produce for sale. Growing primarily for sale, a market garden, and these were called Organoponicos after the style of the former high production sites called Hydroponicos. The fourth and largest type includes animal husbandry.		Cuban urban agriculture was reorganised into 4 types. Growing to feed those gardening, including at many work places.

	Organoponicos and Cuban urban agriculture have been widely praised as a model for other countries, and their role in making Cuba one of the only net carbon dioxide absorbers rather than emitters in the industrialised world. However cash crops ~~griwn rurally~~ like sugar and soya are still grown with high chemical and mechanical inputs, and most grains and pulses are imported.

	~~Pioneered in cuba, organoponics~~ is ~~the replacement of water or other~~ growing ~~medium and fertilizer~~ in ~~hydroponics with an organic compost growing medium – which retains moisture and has abundant nutrients. Organoponics have yields similar~~ to ~~hydroponics – but are more pest resistant and more diversity can be grown~~. ~~Basically~~, ~~it’s growing plants in compost – or~~ the ~~ecological evolution~~ of ~~pure hydroponics~~.		Organoponics is a growing technique developed in Cuba, through adapting Soviet hydroponic systems to locally available materials. This happened during Cuba's Special Period, a time following the loss of financial and material support from the USSR, when global trade sanctions led by the USA were also increased.
