Urban Indians are becoming more concerned about eating healthily as information about food tainted with fertilisers and chemicals is constantly being made public. The organic farmer’s markets in Delhi are more than just places to shop; they are vibrant, living environments that promote healthy living and are alive with the air of fresh food and the ethos of ethical buying.
These marketplaces guarantee a decent quality of life for us as well as for farmers by giving them a fair share price for their goods, doing away with middlemen and promoting organic farming.
Delhi has its own year-round farmer’s markets and is not far behind in this organic project. Additionally, these marketplaces provide more than simply freshly picked fruits and vegetables. Through many of their events, which are organized by farmers, environmentalists, and fitness professionals from throughout the nation, they also promote a sustainable lifestyle.
