Standard In Local Agroecology
Partner retailers include social groceries, organic shops, and other aligned stores that are members of the SILA network. They source and sell produce from SILA-certified farms, take part in peer-review visits, and support the community by offering a small discount on SILA-certified products for SILA members.
These partnerships help farmers access stable, local markets while making agroecological food easier to find — especially in urban areas.
Farmers’ markets are spaces where SILA farmers sell directly to prosumers, building relationships and trust around food. The more farmers’ markets exist across different regions, the stronger and more resilient local food systems become.
SILA supports and highlights farmers’ markets that value direct exchange, transparency, and local agroecology.
