I spent the last few days working, which has included discussions regarding a potential joint venture between Conserve India and Food Ladder Australia. Food Ladder makes small, sustainable greenhouse systems that can be used by individuals or communities to grow vegetables, and they would like to work with Conserve India to produce the systems at Conserve’s factory. The systems could then be distributed for use in Delhi’s slums to provide an affordable food source. Conserve India and Food Ladder have had preliminary discussions and will meet again later this month, so I put together talking points to help the two parties begin to work out the details of their collaboration.
Anita also took me to the Kahn Market in Delhi, which has many high-end shops and familiar Western brands. She said now I have seen both sides of Delhi, from the slums to the Kahn Market. She said she likes to walk around the Kahn Market when the problems in the slum begin to overwhelm her so that she can remind herself that India continues to make progress. She noted that some of this progress includes fresh vegetables in the market that are often imported from other countries, which was unheard of in the past. She also said that a growing trend in the last 5-6 years is Christmas parties where turkey is served, and that turkey farms are starting to proliferate. A picture of part of the Kahn Market is below.
