Growing food, growing community: Community Supported Agriculture in rural Iowa
The emergence of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in Iowa holds promise for rural areas. CSA offers opportunities for small-scale, beginning and part-time farmers, not only growers of vegetables and fruit, but also providers of animal products such as meat, eggs and wool. For conventional farmers, CSA offers opportunities to diversify. As a food systems model, the benefits of CSA transcend growers and the members who receive fresh, healthy food. CSA becomes a potential comprehensive strategy of local action for transforming the daily lives of individuals and the daily rhythm of community. With food as a focal point, CSA brings a growing circle of people into a closer relationship with place - farming, nature, each other. Multiplied in an extended network of local, small-scale actions, CSA provides a sensible and viable counter-balance to the large-scale, global-industrial food system.
