The project encourages the development of sustainable organic
agriculture in harmony with nature and society. It comprises production-related initiatives tailored to meet local needs and based on resources in each area, explained Fano.

He said ACTAF has more than 20,000 members and works in conjunction with the Cuban Agriculture Ministry and farmers to contribute to increasing production and promoting further training.

Among the actions led by the association are the editing of books,
magazines and technical pamphlets. It also promotes educational
workshops like the 7th International Meeting on Organic and Sustainable Agriculture that came to an end this Friday at the National Hotel in Havana, said Fano.

The forum paid special attention to the training of human resources,
while the experiences on effective agricultural practices were
exchanged.
