A snapshot of Community Supported Agriculture in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand 2018

Abstract

This report presents preliminary descriptive results from a survey of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farms in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand in 2018. The survey aimed to gather characteristics of CSA farms operating in the region to capture a point-in-time snapshot. The survey was not intended to provide detailed qualitative information regarding the CSA experience in the region, which instead is anticipated to be explored in a future series of interviews with CSA farmers and eaters to complement this survey.

This report is a working paper prepared for the interest of the survey participants and the CSA community in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. It is the author’s intention to prepare additional publications based on further analysis of these results and additional qualitative data gathered separately.
