"Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) reflects an innovative strategy to connect local farmers with local customers; develop a regional food supply and strong economy; maintain a sense of community; encourage land stewardship; and honor the knowlege and experience of growers and producers working with small to medium size farms."
Robyn Van En, co-founded CSA in the U.S. in 1985
"There is vast and growing resistance to the dislocation and devastation caused by the agro-industrial food system," points out Silvia Ribeiro of ETC Group. "In the global struggle for Food Sovereignty, the playing field isn't level, but the scope of resistance is massive - peasant farmers, fisher people, pastoralists and allied civil society and social movements are fighting for locally controlled and socially just food and health systems."
