Havana allotments!

No mention of it in the article, but I wonder whether the downturn in smoking (Havana cigars and the growing of tobacco) has anything to do with land availability and looking for alternative crops?

Interesting article though!

BBC NEWS | Americas | The vegetable gardeners of Havana

My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)

Very interesting how an 'industrialised' economy was forced to revert to more traditional methods and has done so pretty well.

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
