Indeed, there are significant efforts worldwide in terms of food sovereignty and tackling
various well-known problems such as the huge price volatility of agri-food products
and the "dying out" of small farms. Amongst them, the movement for organic agriculture
has become more visible and better networked through actors such as the International
Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). Much of the work of rendering
agriculture sustainable takes place at grassroots level. In fact, organic agriculture seems to
come hand in hand with a complete set of values opening "a window not only for its
own particular variant on agricultural production, but also for a proliferating range of
alternative understandings and insights into how we organize and value agricultural
systems. The result is that the world of sustainable agriculture is undergoing a period of
creative elaborations across institutional, consumer, political and methodological levels"
(CAMPBELL, 2010: 249). Indeed, CSA with its local solidarity partnerships has become a
global movement, too, which reaches, according to the umbrella organisation Urgenci
more than one million consumer partners in about 10,000 partnerships worldwide.
