Abstract

Abstract Food systems and trade of agricultural products have been affected by States measures in response to the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic. Cuba, a Caribbean island, is equally hard hit by Coronavirus pandemic. Cuba’s reality becomes much more complex when it has to face the economic and financial blockade imposed as a unilateral coercive measure by the US government, causing the impossibility of buying raw materials abroad to produce first need products and food. This essay, framing the global problem of Covid-19, aims to understand how trade of agricultural products is regulated in Cuba in times of pandemic for quarantine areas, taking specific municipality experiences as a model. It is necessary to disseminate the good experiences following three main constitutional principles: right to adequate food, food safety and municipal autonomy. Main results are based on demonstrating if there is an appropriate articulation between local government, producers and trader’s direct benefits to strengthen the food security of population will be obtained.

因新冠肺炎疫情被隔离的古巴小镇的经历:农产品贸易寻求粮食安全

各国为应对Covid-19大流行的演变而采取的措施对粮食系统和农产品贸易产生了影响。加勒比岛屿古巴同样受到冠状病毒大流行的严重打击。当古巴面临美国政府单方面强制实施的经济和金融封锁时，古巴的现实变得更加复杂，导致古巴无法从国外购买原材料来生产急需的产品和食品。本文以Covid-19的全球问题为框架，旨在了解古巴在检疫区大流行时期如何监管农产品贸易，并以具体的城市经验为模型。有必要传播以下三项主要宪法原则的良好经验:获得充足食物的权利、食品安全和城市自治。主要结果是基于证明地方政府、生产者和贸易商之间是否有适当的联系，从而获得加强人口粮食安全的直接利益。

期刊介绍： Global Jurist offers a forum for scholarly cyber-debate on issues of comparative law, law and economics, international law, law and society, and legal anthropology. Edited by an international board of leading comparative law scholars from all the continents, Global Jurist is mindful of globalization and respectful of cultural differences. We will develop a truly international community of legal scholars where linguistic and cultural barriers are overcome and legal issues are finally discussed outside of the narrow limits imposed by positivism, parochialism, ethnocentrism, imperialism and chauvinism in the law. Submission is welcome from all over the world and particularly encouraged from the Global South.
