Community supported agriculture (Csa)

CSA is an alternative, locally-based economic model of agriculture and food distribution. it refers to a particular network or association of in-dividuals who support one or more local farms, with growers and con-sumers sharing the risks and benefits of food production and harvest.

slow Food

Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization, founded in 1989 to pre-vent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counter-act the rise of fast life and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us.
