Cuba: Going Against the Grain -- Agricultural Crisis and Transformation by Minor Sinclair and Martha Thompspon

This report analyzes the new policies and practice changes that brought about the fundamental transformation of Cuban agriculture during the country's economic crisis beginning in 1992. For policy makers in other developing countries, for rural development specialists, for agricultural specialists, and for farmers in other countries, the Cuban model of agriculture is worth a closer examination to reflect on why it has worked and what development ideas may be used in other situations.
