A project aimed at promoting food production on a sustainable basis. Applying science is being spearheaded by the University of Moa Dr. Antonio Núñez Jiménez. As part of the nutritional sovereignty programs in the province of Holguin.
Carlos Alberto Leyva Rodríguez, the program coordinator, told the Cuban News Agency (CNA) that it has boosted the use of fertilizers. Such as agrominerals for agriculture in selected municipalities. Including Sagua de Tánamo and the provincial capital.
He indicated that the project intends to carry out the physicochemical characterization of the soils. With the goal of contributing to their protection through fieldwork and the application of technological packages designed for this purpose.
Also he pointed out that the proposal was to establish a work procedure endorsed by experts. Focused on the use of agrominerals, which could be generalized to other productive areas of the country.
The program will generate new jobs in research. Especially for women, while also facilitating increased yields per hectare for various crops, emphasized Leyva Rodríguez. Who also holds a doctorate in Geological Sciences and is a recipient of the National Prize from the Cuban Academy of Sciences.
Holguin has several projects aimed at promoting food sovereignty. Involving delegations from the Ministries of Science,Technology and Environment and Agriculture, as well as universities.
This thematic area seeks to promote soil recovery, the use of natural fertilizers, and local self-sufficiency in each municipality. Taking into account innovation and development research.
