Abstract

Local Agrobiodiversity Fairs started in Cuba late in 1999 by the I Maize Fair celebrated at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA), signed up by the Cuban Project of Participatory Plant Breeding (CPPPB). This methodological guide was motivated by the significance of agrobiodiversity fair development on the varietal base diversification supporting food security and growers´ market as well as its further generalization in different crops and regions of the country. The objective of such a guide was to share the experience acquired by a staff of researchers from INCA, in such a way that it permits to preserve and widen plant genetic resource diversity of Cuban growers. The document is subdivided into two main sections: the first one which is entitled �??General comments on agrobiodiversity fairs�?� gives a summarized information about different topics, as definition and kinds of fairs, experiences got on fairs in other countries, agrobiodiversity fairs celebrated in other countries, in Cuba and terms associated to them, whereas the second section refers to a strictly detailed way of organizing and developing fairs in our country, so that the reader may find the exact information of the most important aspects to be taken into account. Every subject is logically arranged to provide an easier work to readers.
