Todos a La Fortaleza: Manifestación para proteger y conservar la Estación Experimental Agrícola de Gurabo del RUM-UPR

El Yunque and PR in general received significantly less rainfall this June compared to previous three years
Rainfall maps for June 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 are shown below. Rainfall for June this years is well below normal. El Yunque appears to have received only about 1/3 of the rainfall that it received in each of the previous three years. I am not a forest ecologist, but this seems like a very bad situation to me.
SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA
SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA by Dra. Gladys M. González Martínez
This article by Dra. González (page 103) is excellent. Although she speaks in general terms about food security, she provides a detailed analysis of the situation in Puerto Rico. For years I have heard that we import around 85% of our food from outside the island, but I had never seen an official statement. Dra. González provides it in this paper along with other critically important data about our agriculture and food security.
