CULTIVATING
DIALOGUE: U.S. & CUBAN
AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES
This forum launches a bilateral, participatory dialogue about what
Cuban and US agrarian cooperatives have to learn from each other.
- To what degree have they fostered farmer livelihoods, nutritious
food, sustainability, and social justice in their respective countries?
- What have been the challenges and limitations?
- How have Cuban and US policies supported and/or hindered
cooperative production?
- Finally, what could US-Cuba trade openings do to enhance agricultural cooperatives and the resilience and diversity they afford?
This event is generously funded by the
Christopher Reynolds Foundation
as part of the Center's Cuba Initiative.
