In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, consumers buy directly from regional farmers. Consumers pay up front for a share in the season’s harvest. This helps cover production costs and ensures a steady market, helping smaller farmers remain in business. The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future and Maryland’s One Straw Farm established the first CSA project at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2007, and has since connected hundreds of faculty, students and staff to fresh, local, certified organic produce while communicating key food system issues. The project also helps to address food security in the surrounding Baltimore community, and promotes agricultural practices that protect public health and the environment.
