The Cuban-US Agroecology Network will for the 3rd time be volunteering  to help facilitate the registration of those US citizens who would like to attend this event as part of the Network's mission to help build bridges between the agroecology movements in both countries. This year (2019) it looks like all foreign (non Cuban) participants will need to apply for permission to attend EARLY, so contact us soon!

This conference used to be like this, says Dr. Fernandez,  and then for the past 2 events ANAP was able to have foreign participants participate on tourist visas. VCI has registered US citizens for this event  many times in the past, it is more cumbersome, and all participants will need to register much earlier than in other years. "But,' as the indomitable Dr. Margarita Fernandez, says," it is doable"

El VII Encuentro Internacional de Agroecología, Agricultura Sostenible y Cooperativismo, fue convocado para los días 17 al 23 de noviembre, en La Habana, con la participación de alrededor de 250 delegados, publica Radio Habana Cuba.
Gran parte de los que asistirán proceden de un centenar de instituciones integrantes de La Vía Campesina, movimiento internacional a la que Cuba pertenece y que agrupa a organizaciones de campesinos, pequeños y medianos productores, mujeres rurales, comunidades indígenas, trabajadores agrícolas emigrantes, jóvenes y jornaleros sin tierra.
Entre los temas objeto de análisis figuran la Agricultura Familiar e Indígena, su rol en el desarrollo rural y la soberanía alimentaria, y la incorporación de los jóvenes y las mujeres a los sistemas agroecológicos.
El Movimiento Agroecológico de la ANAP es un referente para diversas organizaciones de la Vía Campesina, lo cual, según la convocatoria “constituye un honor y un compromiso para el campesinado cubano”, y lo exhorta a “continuar cosechando resultados en la implementación de la Metodología de Campesino a Campesino”.
