A farm helps people eat well – level 2

A farm helps people eat well

26-01-2026 07:00

An urban farm in a Paris suburb helps people in the area. It gives jobs, activities, and fresh food at fair prices. Families and older people use the space, and many feel happier and more connected. Children also join workshops and learn new skills.

Each week, the farm runs a small market. People pay prices based on how much money they earn. People with low income pay much less. Many people in the area have problems with money, so this system helps them buy good food. Workers check income and give discounts.

For older people who have little money, the market helps a lot. It supports daily life and brings people together. The city hopes other places follow this idea.

Difficult words: urban (related to a city or town), suburb (an area just outside a city where people live), income (money a person gets).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

How does the farm’s weekly market set prices, and why is this system particularly beneficial for low-income residents?
