Abstract
OROPESA-CASANOVA, Katerine; WENCOMO-CARDENAS, Hilda Beatriz; MIRANDA-TORTOLO, Taymer and LEZCANO-FLEIRES, Juan Carlos. Supportability of productive systems in Cuba from a multifactorial approach. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2021, vol.44, eE08. Epub Apr 21, 2021. ISSN 0864-0394.
Objective:
o reflect about the importance of the supportability of agroproductive systems and of their contribution to local development in Cuba, from an economic, ecological and sociocultural approach.
Materials and Methods:
This study, of exploratory, analytical and descriptive type, is based on the bibliographic review of the concepts sustainable and supportable systems, bioeconomy, agroecology and development programs in local contexts. For such purpose, different information sources, scientific papers published about the topic and literature produced by national and international organisms, were consulted and analyzed, in order to know about the state-of-the-art of the object of study and to concrete necessary definitions and strategies for the implementation of supportable systems in the framework of agricultural programs.
Results:
It was corroborated that supportability is a way of living and producing in harmony with the environment, to guarantee that future generations can satisfy their needs. From its multifunctionality, supportability can be a tool in supportable local development, from the commitment to agrifood models based on agroecology, bioeconomy and food sovereignty.
Conclusions:
In Cuba it would be pertinent to establish local strategies to improve people’s quality of life and preserve the environment, from an agroecological and supportable approach.
