Better understanding of the networking in which CSA can be involved.
1) How many area-wide CSA networks are there? On what do they focus? Joint education, recruitment of shareholders, information sharing and mentoring new farmers are a few possibilities. How are these networks organized and how stable are they?
2) Networks of CSA and other farmers may diversify the kinds of farm products offered as shares. How many farms are creating complementary shares such as honey, flower, egg or meat shares? How are these networking relationships organized and what are their advantages and disadvantages?
3) Networks between CSA and non-food “community supported” enterprises also exist. In what forms are “community supported” models being developed outside of agriculture, e.g. in education, health care, housing or auto sharing? Are CSA farms beginning to interact or network with them? In Madison, Wisconsin, discussions are underway between an urban CSA and a co-housing group.
4) Case studies of all the above networks can provide details on the logistics and other organizational aspects of these examples.
