Resumen
Descripción
Few studies have assessed changes in dietary choice and food preparation habits through community
supported agriculture (CSA) program membership. If CSA program participation does
indeed produce attitude and behavioral change in its participants, public policy encouraging CSA
program membership, such as is currently done with farmers’ markets, would provide another
vehicle for fostering dietary improvements, especially in areas where farmers’ markets may not
be available or accessible for targeted populations. This study attempts to explore the effects of
CSA membership on consumer dietary choice and nutritional intake, as well as the potential
modifications in food purchase, preparation and dining out practices.
