Haryana Announces Organic Produce Markets to Boost Sustainable Farming
Imagine a place where farmers grow food without using chemicals, like organic food!
The government in Haryana wants more farmers to do this.
They're making special markets in two cities where farmers can sell their organic wheat, rice, fruits, and veggies.
The government is also helping farmers by giving them money to package their food and test it to make sure it's good.
They are even helping farmers who don't own land, giving them land to farm organically and offering money to buy things they need.
Haryana will establish dedicated organic produce markets in Gurgaon and Hisar.
The markets will focus on organic staples like wheat, rice, pulses, fruits, and vegetables.
Farmers will receive financial assistance for branding and packaging their products.
