This Grocery Store Is Changing The Lives Of Farmers In India

During my trip to India last December, I spent a day with Green Delights, which is Jeevika’s “farm to fork” retail initiative. (Jeevika, is an initiative of the Government of Bihar for poverty alleviation.) They’ve created a network of both brick-and-mortar and online stores that link women farmers directly to customers, eliminating deception which is common in open markets in Bihar that would otherwise deprive these women of the income they rightfully deserve.

I started my day with the Green Delights team at one of their partner farms, and got to meet the man and woman who run it. Through Green Delights, which provides essential technology like digital scales, these farmers have a reliable and consistent income stream for what they grow.
After hearing their story, I got to go out into the fields for a tour of everything that’s growing right now! I got to help harvest eggplants and peas, pulled radishes, and cut spinach.

After harvesting, we went to the sorting center a few kilometers away. There, I got to meet several of the women who work in the facility, doing everything from washing and sorting produce, to grading and packing it safely for transport. Later that day, I completed the cycle of services Green Delights offers and visited their store in Patna.
