According to the Cadena Agramonte website, in the innovation workshop related to Food Sovereignty, and Food and Nutritional Security, led by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA), the Fishing Company presented experiences with results in some territories for the optimal development of the sector.

Camagüey, which has the largest hydraulic infrastructure in the country and a significant reservoir capacity for that purpose, seeks strategies ‘that allow taking steps with the purpose of reaching the long-awaited food sovereignty that the country needs so much,’ the source noted.

In view of the effects of climate change that directly affect the productive result, a number of strategies are implemented.

In the workshop, some of the actions were disclosed, such as the use of ‘crop residues, by-products generated from industrial processes, for their reuse to feed aquatic animals,’ the website added.

In addition to the CITMA in Camagüey, institutions like the Ignacio Agramonte and Loynaz University are developing research lines, including their own projects for food sovereignty.

Within the program for Cuba’s growth agenda, eight prioritized innovation programs are underway, where the Food Sovereignty and Nutritional Education program stands out.

For the province with the highest cattle development in Cuba, the International Project on Cattle Reproduction with Artificial Intelligence is applied on farms in Jimaguayu, Najasa, Vertientes, with 50 cows with collars, each one with digital technology to monitor their development.
