CSA can be seen as a countermodel to market-based agriculture as it enables to overcome the market-inherent grow-or-die-dilemma. Our research interest lies in the specific attributes that form out this unique model.
This is an interesting and valuable research model that need us to discuss.
Community Supported Agriculture is the type of agricultural partnership between farmers and consumers in which the responsibilities, risks and rewards of farming are shared. From my perspective, it is part of industrialized market-based agriculture. CSA also need consumer, however, it should be plant the food or vegetable according to consumer's need.
In China, the majority of agricultural type is industrialized market-based agriculture. Nevertheless, CSA become more and more popular in China due to the food safety.
The above is just my view of point. Hope it can help. Thanks.
