Contexte | The Ministry of Agriculture (MINAG) promotes the Municipal Food Self-Supply Plan to support the transition of Cuba to a model of food sovereignty. This move meets the growing financial challenges that the country faces to import up to 80 per cent of foodstuffs for consumption. Because agricultural cooperatives are not able to tap their full production potential and that financial resources are scarce, MINAG strategically concentrates its efforts on improving the organizational, economic, productive, environmental and social management of these cooperatives (including inter-cooperation) to increase food production and ensure a healthy and adequate diet for the population. |
Objectifs | Contribute to improve food security for women and men in 17 municipalities by consolidating and disseminating management experiences on inter-cooperation between agricultural cooperatives. |
