    • Synopsis
    • "In 1959 begins the Cuban revolution, after many years of preparation. The victory of Socialism on the island leads to the United States imposing an international economic blockade against Cuba. As a result of this the economy becomes a very fluid exchange with the USSR, mainly of the Cuban sugar cane for almost all the basic resources. In 1989, with the collapse of the USSR, Cuba was without supplies, generating an imbalance in the economy, which provoked a food security problem, leaving a country in chaos. That is where Cuban Agroecology is born and developed in response to the food crisis, based on food self-sufficiency, education, and intergenerational and multidisciplinary popular participation of the entire population. This movement exports millennial wisdom in a context of global crisis positioning Cuba as leaders in the production of sustainable and ecological food."
