Cuba’s Organic Revolution has been recognized by an international audience. Recently the Swedish Parliament delivered the presentation of the Right Livelihood Award,- the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize’, to the Grupo de Agricultura Organica (GAO), the Cuban organic farming association. The GAO has been at the forefront of the country’s transition from industrial to organic agriculture. Now, as many as 1600 organic farmers from India will get to visit Cuba to learn about that country’s achievements in organic farming.

Currently Cuban farming has moved to a more autonomous system, “Autoconsumo” which meant that Farms would set aside land for provisioning their own workers. Another important change was that foods are no longer delivered by farms to the central marketing agency, but directly to a market for direct distribution, much like voluntary capitalist cooperatives. In this sense state control has yielded to autonomy for the farm.

He acknowledges that some business types are better suited for a stint in Chile than others. “Of course, it’s easier to move if you’re a technology entrepreneur.
