I mentioned this man in the image to make me a hot cob of corn, he quickly answered, “sweet corn nahi hai, madam. Desi hai. Khayenge kya? ” No big surprise that the expanding accessibility and interest for sweet corn with the synchronous decrease in our native assortments make these little sellers question if the obviously ‘memsaab’ looking populace would be keen on their nearby produce. “Desi hello toh chahiye” I replied back.

The sweet corn that you eat is developed with imported cross breed seeds which need a ton of assets (water, and so forth) to develop them. Not just that, it requires a liberal utilization of pesticides. With bigger food miles in securing these seeds, it’s supplement thickness is compromised and natural burden is high.

Then again our native assortments (3000-5000) in number are solid and strong. They can be developed with negligible assets of water and excrement, go about as bug anti-agents when between trimmed with different harvests henceforth guaranteeing low utilization of pesticides.
