approach to agriculture, food production and nutrition, subsequently
brought to the US from Switzerland by Jan Vander Tuin [9-10]. Th
fist two CSAs in the United States were started in Massachusetts and
New Hampshire in the mid-1980s, and they are still in operation today

ecosystem that generates health and fertility from within, seeking
to satisfy a triple bottom line—ecological, social, and economic
sustainability
