Our mission is to help create a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture Project) within reach of every neighbourhood of the UK.
That’s an ambitious mission, and we’ve got a long way to go.
- So, what is a CSA?
- Perhaps you’ve already started a project and want to improve it.

- You may want to support our movement to make a more secure and efficient food system.
If any of these things interest you, you’ve come to the right place. As you’ll find out, the network and this website is a rich source of information, inspiration and knowledge.
