Urban Farm DB summary

This article discusses the ideological biases travelers from the United States carry when visiting Cuba and the progress Cuba demonstrates in areas like urban agriculture, healthcare, and education. It notes that while delegations visit areas Cuba is proud to show, this represents only part of the full story. The author's experience suggests that committed revolutionaries offer more serious criticisms, while counterrevolutionaries tend to complain about personal hardships.
