The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service has awarded a $623,256 Project Grant to Fairshare CSA Coalition Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, to execute the "The CSA for All: Strategic Marketing for Equitable CSA Expansion" project. This initiative, funded through the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (CFDA 10.175), aims to increase the inclusivity and accessibility of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. Key activities include assessing innovative CSA models prioritizing equity and food access, conducting a national survey to gauge the values and preferences of diverse CSA members, and developing national marketing campaigns and multilingual materials to highlight CSA benefits to underrepresented audiences. The project seeks to transform the CSA model into a cornerstone of local food systems that serves all community members. Fairshare CSA Coalition will leverage its National CSA Innovation Network platform to share project outcomes and resources nationally.
