对爱荷华州社区支持农业(CSA)种植者的采访揭示了性别与社区支持农业作为一种资源管理系统之间的关系，其中大多数是妇女。种植者，无论是男性还是女性，都因照料和照料实践而有所区别。护理做法历来与妇女有关，优先考虑当地的情况和关系。这些种植者对社区、自然、土地、水、土壤和其他资源的关心体现在关怀动机和关怀实践上。他们的具体动机组合是不同的：提供安全和营养的食品，教育自己和他人，以及与其他种植者、股东成员和土地建立关系。护理实践包括减少或消除化学品的使用，鼓励或接受有益的昆虫和野生动物，营造土壤，以及与股东成员建立资源管理伙伴关系。从关怀的角度来看，CSA可能提供了一种超越性别刻板印象的手段。
Interviews with Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) growers in Iowa, a majority of whom are women, shed light on the relationship between gender and CSA as a system of resource management. Growers, male and female alike, are differentiated by care and caring-practices. Care-practices, historically associated with women, place priority on local context and relationships. The concern of these growers for community, nature, land, water, soil, and other resources is manifest in care-motives and care-practices. Their specific mix of motives differs: providing safe and nutritious food, educating self and others, and building relationships with other growers, shareholder-members, and the land. Care-practices include reducing or eliminating chemical usage, encouraging or accepting beneficial insects and wildlife, building soil, and creating resource management partnerships with shareholder members. CSA, viewed through a lens of care, may offer a means of transcending gender stereotypes.
