          Abstract

          RESUMEN Objetivo: Reflexionar acerca de la importancia de la sustentabilidad de los sistemas agroproductivos y de su contribución al desarrollo local en Cuba, desde un enfoque económico, ecológico y sociocultural. Materiales y Métodos: Este estudio, de tipo exploratorio, analítico y descriptivo, se basa en la revisión bibliográfica de los conceptos sistemas sostenibles y sustentables, bioeconomía, agroecología y los programas de desarrollo en contextos locales. Para ello se consultaron y analizaron diferentes fuentes de información, artículos científicos publicados en torno al tema y literatura producida por organismos nacionales e internacionales, con la intención de conocer acerca del estado de arte del objeto de estudio y concretar definiciones y estrategias necesarias para la implementación de sistemas sustentables en el marco de los programas agropecuarios. Resultados: Se corroboró que la sustentabilidad es una forma de vivir y producir en armonía con el medio ambiente, para garantizar que las generaciones futuras puedan satisfacer sus necesidades. Desde su multifuncionalidad, la sustentabilidad puede ser una herramienta en el desarrollo local sustentable, a partir de la apuesta por modelos agroalimentarios basados en la agroecología, la bioeconomía y la soberanía alimentaria. Conclusiones: En Cuba sería pertinente establecer estrategias locales para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas y conservar el medio ambiente, desde un enfoque agroecológico y sustentable.

          ABSTRACT Objective: o reflect about the importance of the supportability of agroproductive systems and of their contribution to local development in Cuba, from an economic, ecological and sociocultural approach. Materials and Methods: This study, of exploratory, analytical and descriptive type, is based on the bibliographic review of the concepts sustainable and supportable systems, bioeconomy, agroecology and development programs in local contexts. For such purpose, different information sources, scientific papers published about the topic and literature produced by national and international organisms, were consulted and analyzed, in order to know about the state-of-the-art of the object of study and to concrete necessary definitions and strategies for the implementation of supportable systems in the framework of agricultural programs. Results: It was corroborated that supportability is a way of living and producing in harmony with the environment, to guarantee that future generations can satisfy their needs. From its multifunctionality, supportability can be a tool in supportable local development, from the commitment to agrifood models based on agroecology, bioeconomy and food sovereignty. Conclusions: In Cuba it would be pertinent to establish local strategies to improve people’s quality of life and preserve the environment, from an agroecological and supportable approach.

          The Campesino-to-Campesino agroecology movement of ANAP in Cuba: social process methodology in the construction of sustainable peasant agriculture and food sovereignty.

          Agroecology has played a key role in helping Cuba survive the crisis caused by the collapse of the socialist bloc in Europe and the tightening of the US trade embargo. Cuban peasants have been able to boost food production without scarce and expensive imported agricultural chemicals by first substituting more ecological inputs for the no longer available imports, and then by making a transition to more agroecologically integrated and diverse farming systems. This was possible not so much because appropriate alternatives were made available, but rather because of the Campesino-a-Campesino (CAC) social process methodology that the National Association of Small Farmers (ANAP) used to build a grassroots agroecology movement. This paper was produced in a 'self-study' process spearheaded by ANAP and La Via Campesina, the international agrarian movement of which ANAP is a member. In it we document and analyze the history of the Campesino-to-Campesino Agroecology Movement (MACAC), and the significantly increased contribution of peasants to national food production in Cuba that was brought about, at least in part, due to this movement. Our key findings are (i) the spread of agroecology was rapid and successful largely due to the social process methodology and social movement dynamics, (ii) farming practices evolved over time and contributed to significantly increased relative and absolute production by the peasant sector, and (iii) those practices resulted in additional benefits including resilience to climate change.
