Abstract

This chapter describes action research and learning intended to offer an alternative route towards an agricultural innovation system that contributes towards improved food security, sustainability and
wellbeing.
The authors have been coordinating action research and learning around an innovative model based on agroecology as an alternative to conventional high-input agricultural state enterprises. Initial stages focused on building participatory processes around production methods. In light of recent changes in Cuba, the latest stage has emphasised supporting farmers in navigating the entrepreneurial approach, supporting the emerging business ideas of small farmers.
