Access to safe and nutritious food is a major challenge for urban dwellers. A study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations found that between 17 to 32 percent of fruits and vegetables go to waste before they reach people's plates. A farmer's market will not only provide people with safe and nutritious food, but also reduce food wastage. We believe that farmers' markets will contribute to the development of local residents, farmers and the overall food system.

On 28 October 2022 at 9.00 am speakers opined such in the inauguration ceremony of farmers’ market at Ward No. 30 of Dhaka North City Corporation, Adabar No. 10 Road. The event was jointly organized by Dhaka North City Corporation, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Department of Agriculture Extension, and Work for a Better Bangladesh Trust with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Each Friday from 7 am to 2 pm ten farmers, who practice safe farming and endorsed by DAE, from Tetuljhora in Savar will sell their produced vegetables and fruits in this market.

Alhaj Mohammad Abul Kashem, Councilor of Ward No. 30 of Dhaka North City Corporation, inaugurated the farmers' market. The event was moderated by Ziaur Rahman, Senior Project Manager, WBB Trust and speakers of the event were Savar Agricultural Extension Officer Sabuj Chowdhury, Senior Technical Advisor of Dhaka Food System Project of FAOBD Xavier Bouan, Sustainable Agriculture Specialist of Dhaka Food System Project of FAOBD Jahangir Alam, and Director of WBB Trust Gaous Pearee.
