Definition of Greenmarket
Greenmarket is another name for a market where farmers and vendors sell products to consumers. Farmers markets offer consumers local, fresh food and connections between producers and buyers. These markets provide eco-conscious food choices.
Benefits of Farmers Markets
They benefit communities in several ways: by facilitating economic opportunities for small-scale, local farmers and food producers; providing consumers access to fresh, seasonal produce and other goods; and creating lively public gathering places that foster social cohesion.
Perfect Competition in Farmers Markets
Economists use agricultural markets as examples of perfect competition, as many vendors sell similar products at comparable prices. Buying directly from farmers at these markets may offer consumers cost savings compared to retail grocers. Government requirements ensure safety of meat products sold.
