In the last thirty years, Cuba and its capital Havana have become homes to one of the most vibrant urban agricultural movements in the world. This article argues that urban agriculture (UA) became the epitome of a broader movement of “agricultural revolution” that followed the collapse of the previous, capital intensive, monocultural agro-export model. It contends that this transformation revolved around three pillars – land redistribution, agricultural diversification, and agroecology – that account for a transition from food security to food sovereignty. It also presents the results of interviews conducted in Havana with urban farmers to assess the impact that UA has on their family’s diet and food security. The research demonstrates that UA guarantees a heightened feeling of independence to urban farmers and has a tremendous impact on their food security and diversity, most notably through autoconsumption. It also shows that community needs, use value, and the decommodification of food and land are the driving principles of UA in Cuba, which is in line with the food sovereignty model.

In the face of the devastating implementation of corporative agri-food systems, processes of re-territorialization driven by agroecology, such as peasant resistance, become particularly relevant. In this article, we examine the history of the organization La Alianza (The Alliance) in Lara, Venezuela from 1975 to 2020, as narrated by its members, and using the methodology of the systematization of experiences. Based on the analytical categories of agroecology, territory and intersubjectivities, we reconstruct trajectories and organization, identifying harmonious moments which as in the case of a symphony orchestra are triggers for social processes that have promoted the constitution of specific territories. We conclude by showing the possibility of an alternative existence to hegemonic structures, constructed by collective, organized, and conscious subjects that are the driving force behind territories.Frente a la devastadora implementación de los sistemas agroalimentarios corporativos, los procesos de reterritorialización impulsados por la agroecología como, por ejemplo, la resistencia campesina, cobran especial relevancia. Este artículo analiza la historia de la organización La Alianza en Lara, Venezuela, desde 1975 hasta 2020, narrada por sus miembros y utilizando la metodología de la sistematización de experiencias. Reconstruimos trayectorias y el proceso de organización a partir de categorías analíticas pertenecientes a la agroecología, el territorio y las intersubjetividades, identificando momentos de armonía que, al igual que en el caso de una orquesta sinfónica, han sido detonantes de procesos sociales a favor de la constitución de territorios específicos. Concluimos mostrando la posibilidad de una existencia alternativa a las estructuras hegemónicas—una alternativa construida por sujetos colectivos, organizados y conscientes capaces de fungir como la fuerza motriz del territorio.

This research paper investigates the confrontation faced by the Gamela indigenous community, located in the Cerrado biome, in the southern region Piauí State in Norteastern Brazil, between agrarian issues and agribusiness. The territory in this area is considered to be the country’s last agricultural frontier. Self-recognition and self-organization of the Gamela people in their struggle for the demarcation of Indigenous territory, and gaining titles to the land, are key to overcoming the invisibility of Indigenous people in Piauí that has been imposed by historiography and official policies. The article highlights the existence of maneuvering done by agribusiness, with the participation of the state, to harm the rights of Indigenous peoples and nature.Este trabalho de pesquisa examina o confronto enfrentado pela comunidade indígena Gamela, localizada no bioma do Cerrado, região sul do estado do Piauí, no Nordeste do Brasil, entre as questões agrárias e o agronegócio. O território desta área é considerado a última fronteira agrícola do país. O autorreconhecimento e a auto-organização do povo Gamela em sua luta pela demarcação do território indígena e pela conquista de títulos de terra são fundamentais para superar a invisibilidade dos povos indígenas no Piauí que tem sido imposta pela historiografia e pelas políticas oficiais. O artigo destaca a existência de manobras do agronegócio, com a participação do Estado, para prejudicar os direitos dos povos indígenas e da natureza.
