Abstract


 The present article focuses on the Cuban experience in its transition to a new technological-organizational
model with an agroecological basis. It is due to the crisis that the country faced in the 90´s in the last
century when the context of its international relations changed Thus, there was a lessening in the stateenterprise
oriented agriculture implemented in the country after the application of the implementation
of the Agrarian Reform. Sustainability is conceived from a more integral perspective including not only
agroecological factors but also some economic and social ones. The project concludes that a transition
towards a new model is starting and that the strategy adapted is not already finished. The objective
is to evaluate the search of agroecological alternatives to face the crisis of the technological model.
Accordingly, new ways are demanded from the social actors to live and participate as development agents considering rural spaces.
