Le renforcement des systèmes d’innovation agroécologique
Some experiences from innovation processes led by local actors
The collapse of the socialist block in 1989 generated a deficit of energy, supplies and chemicals, and forced significant changes in the ways in which food was produced and distributed in Cuba. Due to these deficits, in the 90´s Cuba moved from being the largest consumer of agrochemicals in Latin America to one with vast experience in organic agriculture in the world. In this process of change, state enterprises gradually lost importance in the production and supply of food for local consumption, and low input family farming emerged, supplying now the local markets.
