“…A more nuanced view of the agricultural sector, however, illuminates other dimensions of the transition that can be lost in broad-scale policy analysis [40,41]. For example, even when the country embraced organic regimes to an unprecedented historical extent, the growth in smallholder farming, peri-urban and urban agriculture, and the state sponsored production cooperatives was not without obstacles [42,43]. The process of decentralization was gradual and seemingly disruptive of former practices, requiring extensive participation of social movements and actors such as universities, and the spearheading of a grassroots approach to development [37,44,45].…”

“…In the 1980s, hydrological changes and the drainage of the final residual swamp forests extended cane fields to the line of coast. The second transition began in the 1990s with the Third Agrarian Reform that led to the decentralization and diversification of agricultural practices [43]. The process decanted in the dismantling of sugar mills in the early 2000s and the expansion of agroecological and local development models in the municipality [63,64].…”

The past years have shown the widespread vulnerability of agro-food systems and rural diets to external perturbations such as wars, climate events, and pandemics. Experiencing numerous obstacles, Cuba constitutes an example of success in the transition to agroecological sustainability models. This article characterizes how processes of agricultural change, local development, and industrial degrowth have impacted food availability and dietary diversity among rural livelihoods in the municipality of Yaguajay, Sancti Spíritus, for the past forty years (1980s-2020s). It integrates findings from focus groups, repeated nutritional surveys, and interviews carried out between 2016 and 2022 among residents of the towns of Yaguajay and La Picadora. The goal is to identify effects and response strategies within agro-food systems of rural populations. Distinguishing between periods of abundance and shortage, our findings show two counterpoints: intensive sugar monocrop cultivation which resulted in high dietary variety; and economic crises in 1990s and during the last period of the pandemic, which have led to significant dietary adjustments. The article concludes underscoring the importance of comprehensive assessments of dietary strategies to elicit what agroecological transitions mean for local realities and of the value of food consumption and small-holder production experiences to understand the limits to sustainable transformations.

“…El fondo de distribución de tierra constituido por el área nacionalizada ascendió a 5,5 millones de hectáreas, de las cuales 1,1 millones fueron distribuidas a quienes la trabajaban; finalmente quedaron en manos del estado unos 7,8 millones de hectáreas. Con esta medida, según Recompensa & Recompensa (2017), "se liquida de una vez la gran propiedad latifundista sobre la tierra y los burgueses agrarios, elemento que permitió iniciar el proceso de reestructuración de la producción agropecuaria".

Las transformaciones agrarias que se producen en Cuba en la década de 1960 van a tener un reflejo directo en diversos órdenes de la vida del país. En tal sentido, serán impactados no sólo la antigua estructura agraria sino también el ámbito económico, político, tecnológico, ideológico y cultural, siendo un catalizador en dichas transformaciones las reformas agrarias que se implementan en los años 1959 y 1963 respectivamente. Desde esta perspectiva, este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el proceso de estructuración agraria llevado a cabo en Cuba a partir del triunfo de la Revolución y su impacto en el orden técnico y científico. Esta problemática ofrece múltiples miradas y vacíos que reclaman una profundización en los enfoques que se muevan en diferentes escalas, para entender por qué la aplicación de las leyes agrarias fueron catalizador en la modificación de las relaciones de producción en el agro cubano. Palabras clave: Reforma Agraria, tecnología agrícola, transformaciones agrarias. ABSTRACT The agrarian transformations that took place in Cuba in the 1960 will have a direct reflection on various orders of life in the country. In this sense, not only the old agrarian structure will be impacted, but also the economic, political, technological, ideological and cultural spheres, being a catalyst in these transformations the agrarian reforms that are implemented in 1959 and 1963 respectively. From this perspective, this article aims to analyze the agrarian structuring process carried out in Cuba since the triumph of the Revolution and its impact on the technical and scientific order. This problem offers multiple perspectives and gaps that demand a deepening of the approaches that move on different scales, to understand why the application of agrarian laws were a catalyst in the modification of production relations in Cuban agriculture. Keywords: Agrarian Reform, agricultural technology, agrarian transformations.
