Abstract
BOTELLA RODRIGUEZ, Elisa. Políticas agrarias, Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional y Soberanía Alimentaria: luces y sombras del caso cubano (1990-2015). Mundo agrar. [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.42, pp.96.1-96.2. ISSN 1515-5994. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/15155994e96.
Considering FAO’s definition of multidimensional Food and Nutritional Security (FNS), this paper discusses agricultural policies implemented in Cuba during the Special Period. The article particularly focuses on those policies implemented by Raul Castro’s Administration and their impact on the different dimensions of FNS: accessibility, availability, utilisation and stability (Food Security indicators) from 1990 to 2015. The paper also proposes a fifth dimension of FNS based on autonomy and food import substitution. This dimension is an attempt to relate food sovereignty and food security in the particular circumstances of Cuba.
