Transición agroecológica en finca del circuito sur cubano: una aproximación estratégica

Modern agriculture faces significant challenges, such as biodiversity loss, soil and water pollution, and deforestation. In this regard, agroecology stands out as a valuable alternative for achieving sustainable transformation. The research was carried out on the “La Guanábana” farm in the municipality of Cienfuegos, Cuba, between November 2024 and April 2025. The objective is to propose innovative actions that guarantee the agroecological transition towards sustainable local development in accordance with the objectives approved in the current legislation on the “El Roble” farm from a strategic perspective. Theoretical and empirical methods were used: historical-logical, inductive-deductive, analysis-synthesis and direct observation, document review, informal interviews, calculation of biodiversity indices and application of the TAPE tool, analysis of the internal and external environment and derived matrices. Among the main results, a value of 44.6% was obtained in the evaluation as an agroecological farm. The strengths include the experience of the workers, while the main weakness lies in the low cultural level and aging of the workforce. The proposed actions to strengthen the agroecological transition and sustainability on the farm respond to the current context.
