Community shared agriculture

Paul Fieldhouse

Agriculture and Human Values, 1996, vol. 13, issue 3, 43-47

Abstract: Community shared agriculture is a concept that brings food producers and consumers together in a relationship that supports values associated with sustainable agriculture, community development, and food security. At the heart of the concept is the notion of sharing. Participants share the real costs of food production through fair prices for the farmer and by assuming part of the risk of poor harvests. They also share the rewards that come through a seasons supply of fresh produce, the development of fellowship, and the knowledge that they are part of an effort to “think globally, act locally.” Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1996
