Going Bananas

On Friday I had the opportunity to travel with a group of students and two other professors to EARTH University to learn about organic farming techniques and the production of bananas. In addition to the banana research we learned about beneficial microorganisms, compost, circular gardens and capturing methane from the ranch (read manure here) to produce electricity!













The clip that follows is my own movie of how bananas are grown, harvested and packaged for shipping to the US. I don't expect it will be nominated for best documentary anytime soon.

Enjoy.
