Local meal cooked on a coal stove was had at the farmers' market in Sunder Nursery. Millet+beetroot roti, a colourful salad of diced, seasonal veggies, tomato and red chilli chutney, hand-churned buttermilk, white butter, and green chilli peppers. Food cooked without cooking gas or electricity. The buttermilk was churned in a traditional hand-operated churner called a bilona with a rope that acts as a windlass. https://www.shreejahealthcare.com/vedic-handmade-bilona-machine/
Black potatoes on sale at the Sunday farmers' market in Sunder Nursery in Delhi. I was told they are low in starch content and glycemic index.
I love visiting farmers' markets. The local economy, local produce, local food in local parks.

"One of MOUA’s first priorities was building a complete picture of urban agriculture across the city, and making that information available to the public. The office created the Urban Agriculture Data Explorer Hub, an interactive platform that maps food production across all five boroughs. The tool has cataloged 2,580 sites so far: #SchoolGardens, #UrbanFarms, #CommunityGardens, #IndoorAgriculture businesses, and underutilized city-owned land. Users can sort by borough, zip code, land management type, and food production status, then click on individual locations for more detail. The platform will eventually also track wellness programs, commercial activity, and climate mitigation efforts. Its crowdsourced design allows community members to contribute information that official records miss, creating a more complete picture over time."

Three Years In, New York’s #UrbanAgriculture Office Has Delivered
by Haley Schusterman, January 20, 2026
"Three years in, the office is delivering on its full mandate. It built its own relationships with community leaders and advocates, launched education programs connecting students to working #farms, opened pathways for #SmallFarmers to sell to city institutions, mapped the city’s urban agriculture landscape, and pushed for procurement reform that could redirect how the city spends its food dollars. The office is working to change how eight million #NewYorkers grow, buy, and think about food, using urban agriculture as a lever for #ClimateAction, #EnvironmentalJustice, #FoodAccess, workforce development, and economic #resilience."
