PAAS - Project to Support Sustainable Agriculture in Cuba
The phase 3 of PAAS proposes the consolidation of a methodology for the application and scaling up of the value chain management model. It includes elements of circular economy, climate-smart agriculture and agro-ecological certification in 11 municipalities and 5 chains (cassava, broiler chicken meat, small livestock, fruit trees and vegetables). The project expects to have an impact on agricultural public policies by incorporating the model into the guidelines of the prioritized national agricultural programs.

Contexte |
Food security and the reduction of imports are a priority for Cuban authorities. Accordingly, policies have been approved to make agricultural management more flexible and decentralized and to increase the availability of food at the local level. The new agrarian policies and their programs need to be adequately implemented with alternatives that address the problem starting from the improvement of local management, given the economic difficulties that characterize the Cuban context, aggravated by COVID-19, the monetary reordering and the economic blockade. PAAS Phase 3 takes advantage of these opportunities to consolidate its value chain management model in 11 municipalities from 8 provinces in 5 value chains (cassava, broiler chicken, small livestock, fruit and vegetables). PAAS Phase 3 will also have an impact on Cuba's agricultural public policies, incorporating the management model of the value chain, with elements of circular economy, climate-smart agriculture and certification by the Participatory Guarantee System (SPG) for agricultural entities, among the guidelines of the prioritized national agricultural programs. |
Objectifs | Contribute to food sovereignty in eight Cuban provinces through the generalization of a management model that develops sustainable and resilient local agro-food systems. |
