The Struggle for Food Sovereignty and Caring for the Land in Cuba
March 1-10, 2027
About the Delegation
Join our delegation to experience Cuba’s complex and dynamic society firsthand. On this trip, we will focus on caring for nature and the struggle for food sovereignty in the context of the U.S. Blockade.
This people-to-people exchange delegation will explore these issues through conversations with agroecological farmers, educators, environmental organizations dedicated to caring for the land, as well as through contact with the island’s wildlife.
Besides, we will meet with doctors who will tell us about the impact of the Blockade on health because of restricted access to food.
Join this delegation and connect with others who have struggled daily to care for their land and their people.
