The National Program of Urban, Suburban and Family Agriculture will celebrate its 38th anniversary this Saturday with a central event in Pinar del Río, Cuba. As reported by the newspaper Granma, the commemoration highlights the program's achievements in local food production.
In Pinar del Río, one of Cuba's western provinces, preparations are underway for a central event to mark the 38th anniversary of the National Program of Urban, Suburban and Family Agriculture. Launched nearly four decades ago, this initiative has promoted food production in urban and family settings, contributing to the country's food sovereignty.
The newspaper Granma reported that the main celebration will take place this Saturday, December 27, 2025, in the city of Pinar del Río. While specific details of the event are not outlined in the available sources, it is expected to include recognitions for participants and reflections on the program's impact since its start in 1987.
This anniversary comes at a time when Cuba continues to strengthen its efforts in sustainable agriculture, particularly in provinces like Pinar del Río, known for its fertility and agricultural tradition. The program has been key in diversifying crops and reducing imports, benefiting local communities through family and urban gardens.
