# COMMUNITY  SPONSORED AGRICULTURE

Community-supported agriculture (CSA model) or crop sharing is a system that connects the producer and consumers within the food system more closely by allowing the consumer to subscribe to the harvest of a certain farm or group of farms. It is an alternative socioeconomic model of agriculture and food distribution that allows the producer and consumer to share the risks of farming.

FarmShare in the US is an example of this new CSA model. The ultimate goal is to create new forms of property ownership, community cooperation, and local self-sufficient economies. CSA farmers are also more likely to be younger, which means that they may be more inclined to embrace blockchain technology, could it prove to be an asset to their operations.
