“You know what it’s like to see the place where you earn your daily bread destroyed?” asked Félix Ortiz Delgado. At 80, Felix has lived through his share of hurricanes in Puerto Rico. But #HurricaneMaria, which made landfall on the island as a Category 4 storm last week, was the worst he has seen. The storm’s force and fury stripped every tree of not just the leaves, but also the bark, leaving a rich agricultural region looking like the result of a postapocalyptic drought. Rows and rows of fields were denuded. Plants simply blew away. In a matter of hours, the #hurricane destroyed about 80% of the crop value in #PuertoRico. Plantain, banana and coffee crops were the hardest hit — here, rows of plantain trees in Yabucoa were flattened by the storm. Landslides in the mountainous interior of the island also took out many roads, a major part of the agriculture infrastructure there. In all, Puerto Rico — where a growing farm-to-table movement has generated optimism in recent years about an #agricultural rebirth — suffered a loss of $780 million in agriculture yields.
