NEW DOCUMENTARY FROM CARIBBEAN AGROECOLOGY INSTITUTE
NUESTRA AGROECOLOGIA, NUESTRO FUTURO
(OUR AGROECOLOGY, OUR FUTURE)
For more than 30 years, Cuba has been transforming its agrifood system, resulting in one of the most successful agroecological experiences in the world. Despite these successes, Cuba faces chronic challenges in the availability and access to food, which creates a kind of paradox and a space for misinformation.
Through the voices of Cuban farmers and specialists, Our Agroecology, Our Future explores the nuances of the successes and challenges and calls to continue harvesting the fruits of 30 years of agroecological construction to enter into a significant transformation of the Cuban agro-food system as a path to achieve the much-dreamed-of food sovereignty.
