VOICED: Venezuela turns to urban farms to meet food needs

In Caracas, a former Hilton Hotel has been transformed into a thriving urban farm as part of a project initiated by President Hugo Chávez. The initiative aims to help the urban poor grow their own food, reducing reliance on expensive imports. With government support in the form of free seeds and training, families have significantly cut their food expenses. Despite opposition criticism, over 21,000 urban allotments are now in use, offering a potential solution to Venezuela's agricultural challenges.
