The Benefits of Community Supported Agriculture
Abstract

Addressing the global food crisis with economical and sustainable farming practices
Abstract
(type = summary)
Community supported agriculture is a new innovation in classic farming techniques that utilizes sustainable agricultural practices while fostering economic, environmental, and economic consciousness. This model brings together entire communities or people who can reap the benefits of healthier, organically grown food. By splitting up the responsibilities involved in supporting and maintaining a farm both financially and labor wise, people are brought together in various ways to lead healthier, happier, and more prosperous lives. Our primary mission is to introduce the CSA concept to developing countries in order to address the issues they are currently facing, such as unstable economies, unstable food production, and unstable lives. For this project, we focused on introducing CSA to Khuda Ki Basti, a small, poverty stricken town in Pakistan with a population of 1,800. By creating a community compost, splitting up container gardens throughout the town, and using raised beds, families will be able to have food and have more sustainable communities, not just gardens.
