"Hunger perpetuates poverty by preventing people from developing their potential and contributing to the progress of their society." Kofi Annan, 2002 Declaration of principles and lines of action of the Food Monitor Program: Political-social control and the right to food 00:00 / 07:26 recognizing that the restriction of Civil and Political Rights and the instrumentalization of social and economic rights is one of the common ways of sustaining authoritarian regimes ; Considering that food shortage has been an opportunity to exercise political and social control by authoritarian regimes at different times in history and in equal measure by leftist and rightist regimes; Bearing in mind that the Cuban population has been affected by the deficient inputs for production, the statist control in the forms of food preparation , the precarious forms of distribution and the shortage of basic elements; Noting that in Cuba, access to basic goods is a complex task Because the State exercises control over the importation of basic goods from the basket, it maintains a tariff regime that doubles the price of inputs, among other arbitrary measures ; Emphasizing that The official narrative has used the economic sanctions of the United States to justify shortages , the breach of promises to citizens and the violation of human rights , through the dogma of the "blockade", which even when it has had an impact on Cuban civil society , it is not the fundamental reason for the economic imbalance, the lack of social opportunities and the political persecution ; Appreciating that civil society organizations independent they have made enormous efforts to guarantee access to food for special protection groups such as the elderly; highlighting that the people who were part of the historical generation and believed in the revolutionary process, are today one of the main affected due to shortages and access to quality food, due to the low purchasing power of pensioners and the queues to access food ; Given that access to food is guaranteed by the State through the ration book, which is insufficient in both variety and quantity to complete the diet of the month; Understanding that access to regulated food requires sacrifice of one or several members of the family who, through waiting, pay with their time the subsidy provided by the State; accepting that access to food calls for additional strategies by Cuban families who are forced to go to the black market to obtain goods that do not exist in the official distribution networks; The initiative to create the Food Monitor Program, responsible for showing that the right to food has been used as an instrument of domination in Cuba since the incorporation of the supply book in March 1962. It is assumed that the greater intervention of the State-Party eliminated the power of agency of the citizens, transformed their food practices, controlled their time and managed their private life . The promise of guaranteeing social and economic rights such as food was paid for with the subtraction of civil and political rights. Cuba is an emblematic case in the matter, not only because it was recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations -FAO- for having eradicated hunger, but also because it has expanded its model of food sovereignty to other countries such as Venezuela. Food Monitor Program aims to deconstruct the myth of food sovereignty in Cuba, dismantling the justifications for the blockade and evidencing its political instrumentalization, it also hopes to serve as a reference to prevent these models from continuing to be promoted in the region and serve as a way to dismantle democracy. and the rule of law. Thus, the principles on which the Food Monitor Program is founded are: 1. Food security and the right to food. Food security is based on four dimensions: 1. the physical availability of food; 2. economic and physical access to food; 3. food utilization; and 4. the stability over time of the first three dimensions. Therefore, any strategy aimed at guaranteeing the population's food supply that does not include the four dimensions of food security is understood to pursue goals other than those related to the right to food. 2. Interdependence of Human Rights. Taking into account the indivisibility and interdependence of Human Rights, it is understood that there is no hierarchy between them, nor can their violation be considered separately. In this sense, the instrumentalization of social and economic rights, such as the right to food, not only threatens this in particular but also undermines the integrality of the human being. 3. Exercise of freedoms as an intrinsic value of democracy. Any strategy developed by the State to guarantee access and availability of food must be based on the freedom of citizens to choose according to their preferences, so that social assistance strategies must be accompanied by competitive markets and stable production systems that guarantee affordable prices and permanent availability of food for the entire population. And the lines of action on which the activities of the Food Monitor Program are developed are: 1. Monitor the conditions of access, availability, use and stability of food in the different provinces of Cuba. 2. Analyze gender roles in the search, preparation and distribution of food within Cuban homes. 3. Determine the forms of social control that operate in the distribution and purchase of food in Cuba. 4. Expose the violation of rights that occurs in the Cuban context as a result of the food policy developed by the Cuban regime. 5. Establish relationships between the food practices of Cubans and the conditions of precariousness and crisis caused by the Cuban regime. 6. Characterize the various social representations around food and its role in the construction of food identity in Cuba.

Por ejemplo, se vende en vez de carne de res, una masa cárnica que nadie sabe qué elementos la constituyen, ni aparecen los componentes ni los nutrientes desglosados... "We never leave anything without taking it out, everything is taken out here, everything is taken out, everything is taken out, nothing is left in the cellar here" HERE IS EVERYTHING Marlene Azor on food insecurity in Cuba: "the crisis is prolonged by the political will of the single party in power" Who in your family usually does the shopping at the grocery store? Well, my husband does the shopping in my store, he's the one who goes every month to run errands. Do you buy other “controlled”, “regulated” or “regulated” products? for this system? Through this supply book system, we buy products from the warehouse and once a month in the local currency store, which used to be in CUC, now in national currency, we buy chicken, detergent and oil; that's the same for the notebook there once a month. What products from the supply book do you consume most frequently? Do you leave any without removing in the month? From the basic food basket, what we consume the most is rice and beans, and we never leave anything untaken, everything is taken out here, everything is taken out, everything is taken out, nothing is left in the cellar here. Nothing is going to be returned to the State here, in short, that does not return to the State, but hey, you and I know how things are, here nothing is left anywhere, everything for your house. How much of your formal income does the monthly purchase of the products in the notebook represent? Do you consider that your ability to acquire them has been affected since the monetary reform? This monthly purchase of products from the supply book represents 6% of our income. And, I do consider that my purchasing power has been affected since the monetary reform, before with less than 100 pesos we used to buy 3 people's errands here, now we need more than 400 pesos. How many days of the month would you say that the basic products of the notebook are enough for the family? We could say that these products last approximately 12 days, that is, they are enough for me for 12 days, an average more or less 12, 15. In my case, the rice lasts for me at the end of the month, because we do not consume that much rice, or be the children eat little rice. Here the one who eats the most is Jose and he doesn't have lunch here, since he works he has lunch at his job. But hey, the beans last a week, the coffee more or less 15 days, because I don't strain in the afternoon, I just do it in the morning, it lasts a little longer for me, there are those who last less. The chicken is 2 to 3 meals, if you distribute it in portions, here the chicken is divided into portions, and well, you distribute it and well, more or less you get 2 to 3 meals. The picadillo per child is enough for 1 meal, the oil for 10 to 12 days because that doesn't last any longer, and it lasts for me from 10 to 12 days, because I don't get cold that much, because Jose doesn't eat fried foods, because we take care of ourselves, because I try not to eat excess fat, anyway, but there are those who don't get it after 12 days, at least it gets to me, but there are those who don't.
