CSA as a Social Movement
CSA has united thousands of people throughout the world who share disdain for
modern agricultural practices. They believe that small-scale and organic farms that grow
a diversified range of crops can restore farming’s place as a community-based activity.
Through international, national, and regional conferences along with newsletters, media
exposure, university assistance, and other sources of support, proponents of CSA are
coming together, gaining momentum, and seeking to redefine the relationship between
the farmer and the consumer.
