CSA is a growing movement in the U.S. that encourages the investment of communities in local farms as well as local farms in their communities. The basic economic model is such that consumers buy shares at the beginning of the season that meet the budget determined by the farm. In return, the members receive weekly distributions of the seasonal produce as they come available for harvest. This way the farmer can focus on growing food of the highest quality by sustainable means in the interest of building community, rather than planting monocultures of cash crops for profit, without consideration of environmental or social concerns. The benefit of incorporating schools into this paradigm is such that they represent a large and important institution with a huge influence on communities. Providing healthy produce grown sustainably, while simultaneously educating and involving students into the process will get them thinking critically about their relationship with food. It is well known that school cafeterias have not historically provided the nutrients needed for healthy growth. Local farms offer seasonal vine ripe produce with a nutritional quality that can not be touched by its industrial competitors. Also, many CSAs manage their farms by a process of consensus, by which participants gain valuable experience and insight into a truly democratic process. This unites the concerns of the community, bringing about greater empathy of the individual towards the whole; a logic that, once taken root at the local level, can be applied at the global level to address global concerns. The incorporation of CSA in our school's production and consumption of food will not be enough to bring about these changes. However, it is a means of meeting our students nutritional needs in a way that remains consistent with an ideology of sustainability, democratic cooperation, and mutual aid. If our aim is to have a future friendly school that shapes our youth into global citizens, it needs to embody these values on all levels. Notwithstanding the most foundational aspect of any society, the production and consumption of its food.
