Cuba''s Agricultural Transformations
The Cuban government has implemented a series of agricultural transformations since 2007 to increase the country''s agricultural self-sufficiency and reduce its dependency on food imports. These include the transfer (in usufruct) of State-owned land to non-State producers (e.g. cooperatives and private farmers), moderate price reforms, the decentralization of decision
U.S.-Cuba Agricultural Trade: Past, Present, and Possible Future
Levels of U.S.-Cuba agricultural trade prior to the Cuban Revolution of 1959 provide some indication of the possible size and composition of future trade flows between the two countries. At current commodity prices, U.S. agricultural exports to Cuba during fiscal years (FY) 1956-58 would have an approximate annual average value of $600 million
The power of community: How Cuba survived peak oil
Since the early 1990s, an urban agriculture movement has swept through Cuba, putting this capital city of 2.2 million on a path toward sustainability. A small group of Australians assisted in this grass-roots effort, coming to this Caribbean island nation in 1993 to teach permaculture, a system based on sustainable agriculture which uses far
Cuba''s Agricultural Sector, a Permanent Challenge
An agricultural school was established in I think 1963, when Fidel Castro engaged Dr. Reg Preston from Scotland, to develop a beef program – hence those empty beef lots scattered across the landscape. The main difficulty for Cuba''s agriculture is a combination of communist policies and incompetent management.
