Food Sovereignty in Havana: Local Results and Global Challenges

Professor Adrian H. Hearn

This presentation examines experiences of food sovereignty through an Australian project in Havana with the Antonio Nuñez Jiménez foundation and the Ifá Iranlowo Afro-Cuban community. The project’s coordinator, Adrian Hearn, will explain the challenges of cooperating with Cuba in the context of the U.S. embargo and the island’s deepening ties to China. Adrian will also describe how collaborating with community farmers in Havana has inspired a similar project in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Adrian Hearn is an anthropologist who researches the cultural challenges and opportunities arising from international relations. He is a Professor of Latin American Studies at the University of Melbourne and was the 2024 faculty-in-residence at Havana’s Casa de las Américas and Consortium of Advanced Studies Abroad (CASA).

There will be a Q&A session following the presentation, then light refreshments.
