Book description:

ORO VERDE
Written for Puerto Rico
but applicable to tropical regions in general,
this unique publication describes
over one hundred new tropical food crops
(fruits, culinary and medicinal herbs, vegetables)
with high commercial potential.
ORO VERDE is an eye-opener that exposes
the myths, dogmas and dangers surrounding
our agriculture, the food industry, health care
and other important factors
that determine
the quality of our lives.
ORO VERDE is a thought-provoking publication
that convincingly explains why locally grown
and processed food is better for your health,
our small-scale farmers, the environment
and the local economy.
It is a practical guide to how everyone -
city dwellers and farmers alike - can get involved
in growing foods and producing personal health care,
cosmetic and natural healing products.
In short, ORO VERDE is a powerful manifesto
that challenges reprehensible educational, political and
social policies, and offers practical solutions.
It is a book of hope and transformation
for people from all walks of life,
and you are invitedto take part in the refreshingly
revolutionary alternative it presents.
