CSA
CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is a system that connects consumers directly with local farmers. In this arrangement, individuals or families purchase a share of the farm's harvest in advance, providing farmers with upfront capital to grow their crops. In return, members receive fresh produce and other farm products throughout the growing season.
This model promotes sustainable farming practices and encourages local food consumption. By participating in CSA, members often receive a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, fostering a closer relationship between consumers and their food sources. It also supports local economies and reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food.
