..."The report also explores how portion size and packaging at farmer’s markets are not designed for say, a senior citizen cooking for one or someone living in shared accommodations without regular access to a refrigerator or even a stove"...

Huh.

All of the farmers markets  here on the west coast have vendors that eschew packaging, the very nature of which goes against the organic vibe of the market. This includes markets in Vancouver, and here in Richmond. You can easily grab just a handful of greens (including salad greens), or a couple of pieces of tree fruit.  They will gladly decant more delicate produce like berries from the baskets on display.
