The Government has started planting vegetables in downtown Caracas, in the planters next to the walkways along a Boulevard called Vargas. The report says that the crops will be sold in the markets nearby. Now, in country with no follow up or maintanance and where even the expansion joint of highways get stolen at night (to sell the metal), I wonder how they plan sustain the crops or stop people from stealing them!

Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
