That’s Great, but So What?

Broadly, this research shows that CSA could be a facilitator for behavior change that benefits:

• The environment by supporting organic agriculture and seasonal and vegetarian diets

• Communities by supporting local farms and local economies

• Society by promoting healthier lifestyles

Narrowly, this study provided information for Troy CSA and will  hopefully help:

• Develop marketing strategies

• Promote strategies to hold on to members
  
  
• Ultimately, move the farm towards economic sustainability
