Technology is making our lives easier in many ways. For example, more and more farmers’ markets in China are becoming smarter.

	Many 15-minute community life circles have been created in Shanghai, which means you can get to the public services you need within a 15-minute walk from your own home. One farmer’s market has developed a WeChat mini-program where people can buy things in the circle, saving shopping time.
	At a market in Ningbo, there is a screen showing vegetable prices foot traffic and testing results of vegetables. This new technology makes information more open and transparent(透明的).
	At a farmer’s market in Chongqing, customers will receive a payment receipt(收据) printed with a QR code(二维码) each time they buy a product. Once they find a safety problem with the product, they can find out where the product came from through the code.
	In Wuhan, a market management platform provides real-time rankings(排名) of best-selling products. In this way, sellers can see which vegetables and fruits are selling well. This makes daily operations(操作) easier for sellers.
