  • A vendor cleans corn as she waits for customers in the Santa Carolina Market in Quito, Ecuador.  Grocery stores, supermarkets, and megamarkets all have their roots in village market areas where farmers and vendors would converge once or twice a week to sell their produce and goods. In farming communities, just about everyone had something to trade or sell. As transportation became more efficient (especially refrigerated transport), and farms became huge, big corporations moved into the food business to take advantage of scale, especially in the United States. Now the convenience of one-stop shopping has made this business even bigger. Even the smaller supermarkets are being bought up or run out of business by the larger concerns. Some small town markets still exist today throughout much of Europe, although to a lesser degree there as well. Small markets are still the lifeblood of communities in the developing world, and, for better or worse, will remain so until they are numerous and big enough to attract the conglomerates' attention. Coming full circle, farmers markets have come back into vogue in some places in the USA where they had largely disappeared.

  • Zumbagua has a vegetable market big enough to attract a few tourists. The town even has a small hotel or two. Zumbagua is midway between the high Andes and the coastal lowlands; its market, supplied by both climatic zones, creates a kind of ecological collision, with purple mountain potatoes and bumpy red oca tubers vying for space with tropical pineapples and blocks of coarse brown sugar.

  • In the Cambodian town of Siem Reap, the gateway to the ruins of Angkor Wat, an ingenious device is popular among the townspeople for catching crickets. A black light is hung above a plastic sheet that glows with an ultraviolet hue attractive to insects. The crickets are attracted to the light, land on the sheet, and slip down into a bucket of water, where they promptly drown. The Liemh family deep-fries the crickets and sells them in the local market for 6,000 riels, $2.50 US, per small basket.  Siem Reap, Cambodia.

  • Sheepherder Miguel Angel Martinez Cerrada watches as his brother Paco quenches his thirst with a long pour of red wine from a porron, a traditional glass container designed to eliminate the need for individual glassware at their house in the tiny village of Zarzuela de Jadraque, Spain. (Miguel Angel Martinez Cerrada  is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  Because the brothers eat mainly meat, they're largely self-sufficient when it comes to food. Because there isn't a bakery or market in their small village, they shop once a week in Guadalajara or another larger town about a half-hour drive away.  MODEL RELEASED.
