Synopsis (short abstract) This report summarizes the main results of FAO in Cuba in 2023, another year in which our focus was on advancing towards more efficient agrifood systems, inclusive, resilient and sustainable for Cuba, with the purpose of achieving better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life. In collaboration with the Cuban Government and its institutions and partners such as the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility and the European Union, we continue to consolidate our essential goals in the country, with a total of USD 66 million mobilized between 2019 and 2023. We continue to accelerate results with our most advanced projects with diverse actions such as the acquisition of machinery and supplies to accelerate the fulfillment of our objectives in critical areas such as the adaptation and mitigation of climate change and support for food trade and we advance in the productive restoration of 35 000 hectares of land previously invaded by marabou, implementing agroforestry, forestry and silvopastoral systems to address challenges such as food security, biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of natural resources and we continue to support the country in the construction and implementation of public policies to transform local agrifood systems and improve their governance, including the Food Sovereignty and Food and Nutrition Security Law, as well as other policies and regulations.
