Abstract

An important, contemporary focus of scholarship is on the necessary structural conditions to promote a sustainable transition in agriculture. This study examines the possible role of anti-systemic structures, delinked and exilic, in conditioning transitions to agroecological production. I conduct a comparative-historical analysis of two periods, 1959–1991 and 1992–2016, within a single case, Cuba. The results provide evidence that the prevalence of delinking with incorporation maintains an industrial model of agricultural production, even while bringing the law of value under sovereign control. In this way, the existence of delinking as one type of anti-systemic structure is not a sufficient condition for increasing agroecological production; although data suggests that delinking can provide important tools to support sustainable transitions in future periods. In the second period characterized by increasing prevalence of an exilic structure in conjunction with delinking, results demonstrate that anti-systemic structures operate complementary to one another and can maintain partial incorporation while increasing the application of agroecological production. As such, this study provides a rationale for future research and action on anti-systemic structural mixture conditioning sustainable transitions.

质疑农业生产的结构条件
当代学术界的一个重要焦点是促进农业可持续转型的必要结构条件。本研究考察了脱链和流亡的反系统结构在农业生态生产条件转换中的可能作用。我对1959年至1991年和1992年至2016年这两个时期进行了比较历史分析,以古巴为例。研究结果提供了证据,证明与公司脱钩的普遍性保持了农业生产的工业模式,即使将价值法置于主权控制之下。因此,脱钩作为一种反系统结构的存在,并不是增加农业生态生产的充分条件;尽管数据表明,脱钩可以为支持未来时期的可持续转型提供重要工具。在第二个时期,其特征是流亡结构的普遍性和脱钩,结果表明,反系统结构相互补充,可以保持部分结合,同时增加农业生态生产的应用。因此,本研究为未来反系统结构混合物调节可持续转型的研究和行动提供了理论依据。
