The film suggests agroecology as option and necessity for constructing Food Sovereignty, regarding Cuba’s experience as worldwide reference; it makes us think another kind of countryside is possible.

Short Synopsis

Cuban Agroecology arises as a response to food crisis, based on food self-sufficiency values, education,as well as intergenerational and multidisciplinary popular participation of the entire population. Within a global crisis context, this movement today exports ancient wisdom, positioning Cuba as a sustainable and ecological food production leader.

Long synopsis:

After having been prepared for many years,Cuban revolution starts in 1959. The victory of Socialism on the island entails the United States to impose an international economic blockade against Cuba. As a result of this, the economy results in a very fluent exchange with the USSR, mainly of Cuban sugar cane, for almost all basic resources. In 1989, as the USSR collapses, Cuba is left out of supplies. This generated an economy imbalance resulting in food security issues, which left the country in chaos. It is then when Cuban Agroecology arises and develops in response to food crisis, based on food self-sufficiency values, education, as well as intergenerational and multidisciplinary popular participation of the entire population. Within a global crisis context, this movement exports ancient wisdom, positioning Cuba as a sustainable and ecological food production leader.

Director’s Biofilmography

Juan Pablo Lepore was born in the Capital City of Buenos Aires. He studied Image and Sound Design at the University of Buenos Aires. Together with Nicolás van Caloen, he founded Documentary Collective Seeds in 2010 which, in short documentaries format, shows the filming work carried out on different trips, getting to know grassroots social organizations struggling against the capitalist system. He returns to Argentina in 2013 and associates to DOCA (Documentalistas de Argentina (Argentine Documentary Makers)) with a clear vision of contributing to the local documentary scene with the recorded experiences. "Agroecología en Cuba" (Agroecology in Cuba) is his fourth feature film; the previous ones are "Sin Patrón: una revolución permanente" (No boss: a permanent revolution) (2014), "La Jugada del Peón: el agronegocio letal" (The pawn’s move: the deadly agribusiness) (2015) and "Olvídalos y volverán por más: megaminería y neoliberalismo"(Forget about them and they will come for more: mega-mining and neoliberalism) (2016).

"The images show an unusually green and fertile Havana. The interviewees' words, especially the recurrence of certain diminutives, show a respectful, harmonious and loving relationship with the earth."

By María Bertoni for “Espectadores.com.ar”


"The interesting thing about Agroecology in Cuba is that it suggests thinking how this kind of practices could be carried out in other countries dominated by neoliberal policies that impose not only prices, but also the very food that one should consume."

Aquaponics combines two growing methods, aquaculture and hydroponics, to create a self-contained, well-balanced ecosystem. Fish are fed and raised in a tank and as gravity pulls the wastewater through a hydroponic garden, bacteria feed on the waste, breaking it down into essential nutrients for the plants to grow. The system then returns the cleaned water back to the fish reservoir so the process can begin again.

In this episode, Charles Collins shares his backyard aquaponic and hydroponic gardens where he's able to grow tilapia, leafy greens, peppers, herbs and so much more, all in the suburban desert. Together we grow!

A country that has been devastated by high level of food insecurity, with over 7 million people severely food insecure. On today’s episode we focus on the story of a young lady who has decide to join the world of Agriculture and become a farmer. Inspired by the high levels of food insecurity in the country and her passion to help the vulnerable people in the country, she decides to start farming.

Dragon fruit is an exotic cactus that is found in Asia, Mexico, and parts of South America. It is not grown in North America or Africa, which is why the plant is not as common in these regions. Dragon fruit can be planted as ornamental plants, but they do bare delicious fruit that is rather tasty.

Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to see it growing pretty well in my Country Nigeria. Again, this is another confirmation to the humungous potentials of our country

There is a joke that goes around about how some people started chicken farming with a feather to grow their now expansive farm..ok, that joke is just that, a lame one.. This post is not about a feather or chicken, meet Ann, she started their dairy farm back in 2007 in the wake of the highly contested general election. A true fact to her story is that they started with one zebu cow and kept improving their breed to currently over 150 high yielding dairy cows and 28 bulls. She has gone a step further and started processing the milk into Yoghurt, Mala, and the recent regulation by the government to stop the sale of raw milk brought about a new opportunity.. Ok, find out which this is. In her words, a cow doesn't eat from a plate!! plan your feeds for up-to one year! Also, remember to like, share, and subscribe ahead of an upcoming series on the A-Z of dairy farming which will run on a different YouTube Channel - Dairy TV..... #TwendeKazi
