Strategy to strengthen community agroecological education in mountain ecosystem

Abstract

In Cuba, the organization and completion of environmental legislation, institutional strengthening for systematic and rational attention to the environment in communities, the inclusion of environmental issues in education programs, scientific-technical research and the improvement of policy and environmental management and education instruments, among others, demonstrate a national effort aimed at the development of environmental education which enables the economic and social development of the country. For this reason, the inclusion of agroecological education becomes part of the complement of this objective. The present work arises from the need to delve into the ways to achieve an efficient strategy to strengthen agroecological education in communities with the participation of institutions which can actually carry out this purpose from community contexts.
