社区支持农业（CSA）是一种新的农业制度。在CSA中，农民和消费者共同承担生态农业生产的风险和回报。这项研究的重点是消费者从CSA成员的好处，特别是节省成本。为了估计消费者的成本节约，对1995年美国马萨诸塞州的三个CSA农场每周的产品份额进行了测量，并计算了零售价值。成本节约是按三个CSA业务的股价和零售价值之间的差额计算的。根据有机农产品的零售价格，收益从股价的60%到150%不等。
Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a recent institution in agriculture. In CSA, both the farmer and consumer share the risks and the bounty of ecological farm production. This study focuses on consumer benefits from CSA membership, especially cost savings. To estimate consumer cost savings, quantities of produce in weekly shares for three CSA farms in Massachusetts, USA, in 1995 were measured and retail values calculated. Cost savings were calculated as the differences between share prices and retail values for three CSA operations. Benefits ranged from 60% to 150% of share prices, based on retail prices for organic produce.
