The large majority will be 100 institutions of La Via Campesina, an international movement of small and medium farmers' organizations, rural women, indigenous communities, immigrant farm workers, young farmers and those farming without land are some of those topis which will be addressed and their role in the development of food sovereignty as well as the incorporation of young people, women and agroecology.

The Cuban-US Agroecology Network of the Vermont Carribean Institute 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" 

Thanks to Otto Manuel Anderez of Inifat for sharing this information!!!

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”.

"Smile, breathe and go slowly."

"I open my heart and send forth my energy of love and understanding to everyone who has made me suffer, to those who have destroyed much of my life and the lives of those I love. I know now that these people have themselves undergone a lot of suffering and that their hearts are overloaded with pain, anger and hatred. I know that anyone who suffers that much will make those around them suffer. I know they may have been unlucky, never having the chance to be cared for and loved. Life and society have dealt them so many hardships. They have been wronged and abused. They have not been guided in the path of mindful living. They have accumulated wrong perceptions about life, about me, and about us. They have wronged us and the people we love. I pray to my ancestors in my blood and spiritual families to channel to those persons who have made us suffer the energy of love and protection, so that their hearts will be able to receive the nectar of love and blossom like a flower. I pray that they can be transformed to experience the joy of living, so that they will not continue to make themselves and others suffer. I see their suffering and do not want to hold any feelings of hatred or anger in myself toward them. I do not want them to suffer. I channel my energy of love and understanding to them and ask all my ancestors to help them."
