社区支持农业的起源与目前困扰全球的三个农食问题有关:
粮食安全——比如说科罗拉多企业水资源私有化案例;
食物主权——比如孟山都将转基因种子申请专利并控制其所有权;
食物安全——比如说08年三聚氰胺事件。这些案例都是每一天深切困扰着每一个食物消费者的问题。

而正是因为诸如此类的原因,全世界各地的很多消费者与当地的农场主联合起来,直接建立生产和消费关系,从而希望能够改善食物安全问题和日益严峻的环境问题。
It has to do with three global food issues
Food security——Colorado water privatization
Food sovereignty—— Heirloom vs Monsanto seeds
Food safety——Melamine added to infant formula in China in 2008.
Those three big issues are concerning the world. Different region has their own unique way of challenging the status quo. But one thing we all share in common is that many of us have decided to stand together and work with our local farmers so that we will have better control and impact on our food source and environment. Those consumers are the very funders of CSA system.
