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."

ORFC Global 2021 Session
The Shashe block of farms, in the Maszinvgo province of central Zimbabwe, is home to 500 farming families. Together with the Zimbabwe Smallholder Organic Farmers Forum (ZIMSOFF)’s and Shashe Agroecology School, they have worked to revive arid cattle-ranching land into rich, abundant food forests.
The school trains farmers in agroecological farming techniques such as inter-cropping, water-harvesting and farmer-to-farmers exchanges but at the heart of their practice is a special emphasis on seed and food sovereignty and ecological production integrated with seasonal ceremonies and rituals. There is also a deep emphasis on farmer led solutions to socioeconomic, ecological and cultural issues, which has stimulated designing a methodology for holistic nurturing of landscapes at the Shashe block of farms.
Join farmers and the founders of the Shashe Agroecological School in Zimbabwe, as they put their new internet connection to the test!

ORFC Global 2021 Session
Three African women, Jennifer Amejja, Edna Kaptoyo and Rita Uwaka, speak about the importance of women’s cultural, traditional knowledge and practice for food sovereignty, agroecology and community forest management. How they grow nutritious food, use and protect medicinal plants, select and exchange seed, establish vital community seed banks, provide livelihoods and support the local economy. Also how they protect forests, many of which are sacred, and ensure replenishment and restoration of watersheds.
Indigenous women are especially threatened by climate change and biodiversity destruction, yet their intimate knowledge makes them uniquely placed to protect and restore critical ecosystems; strengthen traditional food systems; conserve species; and transmit indigenous knowledge to future generations.
However, industrial plantation agriculture, often supported by governments and finance institutions in developed countries, is fuelling landgrabs, destroying local food systems, and accelerating climate change, biodiversity loss and human rights abuses, especially for women. How should we collectively address this critical issue?
