The what-how-why of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
It is estimated that approximately one billion people today take part in a cooperative system. May some of us be using their voice to shape their cooperative or even aware that their are part of one (More often that not, our banks or insurance providers are cooperativesà, the co-op system plays today an increasingly capital role in the development of new grassroot local and independant food-farming movements —aiming to break away from top to bottom multinationals and corporate powers.
If every voice of these cooperative structures is intended to be valued equally, if they can allow to shape fair and understanding relationships with farmers and eaters, why not spend a bit of time learning more about them? Gathering sources from local cooperative farms, the press, internet comments, wannabe CSA[1] representative [1] to a UN funded census, this article aims to encompass as broad information on the topic as possible as well as to give tips on how to build or find a nearby CSA.
