Researchers and specialists are also incorporated into the teaching staff of the schools to contribute to the increase in teaching coverage and the comprehensive training of the new generations.

For more than 30 years, Ueica has promoted food sovereignty projects, the cultivation of plants resilient to climate change, among other priorities linked to government programs in Cuba.
