The main question this paper seeks to address is what are the advantages and disadvantages of specific approaches that hold out promise for scaling up CSA research findings to contribute meaningfully to the challenges of poverty and climate change. The aim is to build on the existing agricultural adoption and CSA literature to unite the concepts under a common framework and draw 5 from the learning to inform future actions.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that drive producers to market their products through Community Support Agriculture (CSA) by using a county-level data set from the US.
