Private urban agricultural ventures, initially a spontaneous response to
food shortages during the Special Period, soon became a state-sponsored
project, related to global notions of sustainability. This article
explores the role sustainability in the reformulation of
the Revolution. Urban gardeners engage with international discourses of
sustainability and interact with the Cuban state's articulation of
these discourses. While this process forces urban gardeners to adapt to
the changing meanings of growing food, it also provides a different
language through which gardeners define themselves, especially in the
context of a changing relationship with the state.
