CSA / Community Supported Agriculture - Conscious consumption one step ahead
For this evening we invited the CSA Project Staudenmüller, which is located close to Berlin. You will have the possibility to learn about the CSA concept and meet people working with it directly.
Basic thought of a CSA is that a farm provides food for people within its surroundings , while the people provide the necessary (financial) means for production. Both sides take responsibility for the other.
This is one way how you can support organic farming and local farms in a direct way. The farms will be less dependend on 'the market' and corporations and you get fresh, seasonal, regional food... To be continued in fall!
