The University of Havana in Cuba recently became a member of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) International System for Agricultural Science and Technology (AGRIS), marking a significant milestone in agricultural research.

Established in 1728, the University of Havana stands as one of Latin America's oldest and most esteemed academic institutions. Renowned for its diverse academic offerings and rich cultural heritage, the university plays a pivotal role in shaping Cuba's agricultural landscape and fostering innovation.
