Awakening Community Intelligence: CSA Farms as 21st Century Cornerstones

Over the last decades many thousands of people in all parts of the world have come to recognize in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) a vehicle for approaching land, food, labor, environment and community in a healthier way.

Now – in an era with increasing shadows of environmental catastrophe – it’s time to expand exponentially the CSA vision and reality. The opportunity is before us to establish hundreds of thousands of CSA farms in nations around the world, and to thereby employ a proven, egalitarian model to address the radically changing circumstances in our environment, climate, economics, and social relationships.

This book lays out the vision, and sounds a call to action.

Author Steven McFadden is a journalist who has been writing about CSA since its inception in the USA in the late 1980s.
