history of 'organic' in community gardens


Hi there,
 
I'm a Master's student in Environmental Policy at Berkeley, hoping someone out there can answer a few fairly broad questions about the relationship between community gardens and organic principles/methods. Is it safe to assume that most gardens adopt a policy of organic methods only? Were community gardens always (well, since the 70s, anyway)  involved in sustainable farming techniques? Or does every place have a different history? And, finally, does the ACGA have a policy on this?
 
Thanks for any help!
 
Sincerely,
Shana Cohen
