Plant breeding and local participation. An experience in Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
work experiences of a multidisciplinary team of INCA in three
agricultural production cooperatives in South Havana and one
service and credit cooperative of �??La Palma�?�, Pinar del Río,
with the aim of finding other formal plant breeding ways
through a participatory approach. Firstly, it is notable to observe
how producers involved into a plant breeding experience
are submitted to technical and social changes, which in turn
demand some motion towards two directions: participation
and decentralization. This experience enables to build a new
knowledge by breaking myths through a knowledge dialogue
among producers meanwhile there are technical changes within
seed and varietal environment, but also social ones. Secondly,
it shows the possibility of such kind of experience, as a
sustainable development objective and as a way of
reconstruction from the basis of our social project, since it is
feasible for strengthening producers and coordinating main
roles at the seed system and community life centered amound
common interests.
