Study conducted by the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (Cuba) between 2020 and 2022, with support from Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC). It evaluates the effect of applying agroecological practices on three farms in the municipality of Jaruco, Mayabeque province, which are transitioning to sustainable systems. Through interviews and participant observation, the impact of the use of bioproducts, organic fertilizers, varietal diversification, and biological control on the yields of crops such as sweet potatoes, beans, and corn was analyzed, showing increases of 20% to 70%. The results show improvements in the productivity, resilience, and sustainability of agroecosystems, contributing to local food security and sovereignty.
