What is a C S A ?

Intro English

இந்திரோ தமிழ்

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farming model where individuals or families purchase shares in a local farm's harvest. In return, they receive a portion of the farm's produce each week throughout the growing season. This model allows consumers to directly support local farmers while enjoying fresh, seasonal produce. >History of CSA across the world<

சமுக ஆதரவு வேளாண்மை (CSA) என்பது உள்ளூர் வேளாண்மைக்கும் நுகர்வுக்கும் ஆதரவு தரும் ஒரு முறையாகும். பொதுவாக, இது பலர் இணைந்து உள்ளூர் விவசாயிகளை ஆதரிக்கும் மூலம், அவர்களுக்கு கிடைக்கும் பகிர்ந்துகொள்ள உண்டாகும். பொதுவாக, CSA உறுப்பினர்கள் முன்னணி பருவத்தின் பங்கை அடையும். வளர்ச்சிக் காலத்தில், உற்பத்தியின் ஒரு பகுதியை உறுதியாக பாண்டிகையில் வாங்குவர்கள். சீர்முறை பொதுவாக, பழங்கள், காய்கறிகள், பயிர்கள், மருத்துவ செடிகள், பச்சைப் பொடிகள், அவயவக் குழந்தைகள், தேன், பால், மொழுமை பொருட்கள் ஆகியவற்றை சம்பாதிக்கலாம்.

CSA is more than just ordering a basket. In Auroville, Solitude Farm offers a CSA seasonal scheme, check out.

CSA farmers benefit from: A stable and predictable income, as shares are usually paid for in advance. Building a supportive and loyal customer base. Reducing marketing and distribution costs by selling directly to consumers. Having the opportunity to connect with and educate their community.

I found your insights highly valuable and believe that discussing the concept further with you or someone from your team would greatly benefit my research.
