The only option is to reduce the intake of costly vegetables and rely on green vegetables. Locals in Goa do grow vegetables which are sold along the road and there is more demand as it is fresh. 

Government should help such locals to produce more for local consumption which will bring some relief to common man. 

Places should be identified where projects are objected by locals and use the same for cultivation. Proper use of available land and subsidy to encourage local cultivation is only possible way to fight inflation.
