Are alternative food models like CSA fulfilling their promise of restoring farmers’ autonomy to cultivate their own seeds? How can CSA members take a more active part in the renewal and rebirth of diversity? Are CSA consumers still aware of the nature of the seeds that are cultivated on the farms and that shape organic products? How can we possibly build stronger connections between Community Supported Agriculture and Community Seed Banks (CSBs) which are emerging as part of informal seed systems to counteract the loss of locally adapted crops through dynamic, collective management?
