While two national wire services covered this story, very few newspapers actually picked it up. The Washington Post, (11/2/00 p. A29), gave an anti-Castro spin to the story by focusing on community gardens as necessary to off set food shortages and nutritional problems. The gardens were depicted as contributing only "slightly" to food production in a socialist agriculture system with problems of "inefficiency and lack of individual incentives." Nothing was said about the successful transformation of Cuban agriculture to a mostly organic system.
