“You know your doctor, lawyer, and specially your barber on a personal level. I think it's about time you knew your farmer on a personal level.” Meet Achintya Anand, all of 24 and running @krishicress , a farming venture in the capital that yields the city’s best produce.
While State governments inch toward transforming urban spaces to concrete hotspots, it is young, talented entrepreneurs like Anand that stand strong, converting private land into green lungs. “Urban farming is a concept that has come up a lot recently in Delhi. The closer the food source, the better it is as it is ensures freshness. Children and adults alike don't know where most of their food is coming from or growing. The term 'farm-to-table' is widely misused in the industry and should be adopted in our homes first rather than just attending some 'farm-to-table' event.” http://bit.ly/nico-kcress
