We’re committed to seeing a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture project) established in every neighbourhood of the UK.
That’s an ambitious vision and we have a long way to go. But the movement is growing.
- So, what is a CSA?
- Perhaps you’ve already started a project and want to improve it.
- You could be looking for a CSA you can join in your area.
- You may want to support our movement to make a more secure and efficient food system.
If any of these things interest you, you’ve come to the right place. As you’ll find out, the network and this website is a rich source of information, inspiration and knowledge.
