The idea of a farmers market where producers can sell their products directly to customers isn't new. In Indonesia, where the marketing of harvests is still ruled by intermediaries, it's somewhat unheard. ⁣ However, you can find a farmers market called Earth Market Surabaya held monthly on a CBD at West Surabaya. Earth Market offers a chance of interacting directly with food & beverages purveyors, food and non-food artisans as well as local designers while enjoying the multicultural community that it offers. Chef Inda Kusuma is a facilitator, a Chef instructor, and also a slow-food organic movement activist.

Yet in Indonesia where the marketing of harvests is still ruled by intermediaries, it's somewhat unheard of. But you can find a farmers market called "Earth Market Surabaya" held monthly on a CBD at West Surabaya. Earth Market offers a chance of interacting directly with food & beverages purveyors, food and non-food artisans as well as local designers while enjoying the multicultural community that it offers. Chef Inda Kusuma is a facilitator, a Chef instructor and also a slowfood organic movement activist. Discover how Chef Inda Kusuma came up with the idea of a sustainable, educational and entertaining market environment.

Pankaj Kalita (Ph.D.) is an Assistant Professor at the School of Energy Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati. He has more than 4 years of teaching and 10 years of research experience in the field of renewable energy (solar energy, thermochemical and biochemical conversion of biomass and energy storage), Thermal management of PVT, and Li-ion battery pack, and Energy Management. He has published more than 50 peer reviewed research papers in various reputed journals, 12 book chapters and more than 20 conference papers. He has implemented many research and consultancy projects. At present two research projects are in progress in the areas of energy storage, and renewable energy integration for remote electrification. He was a recipient of India's Distinguished Visiting Fellow awarded by the University of Nottingham, the United Kingdom in 2010. He was also selected for attending the prestigious India-UK young scientist networking conference on low carbon technologies held during 2-3 December 2009 in Kolkata organized by British Council Kolkata.
