CSA BRASIL, BRAZIL
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, a model where consumers directly support local farmers by purchasing shares of the harvest in advance. The goal of CSA Brazil is to conduct a campaign to expand this model throughout the country. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between consumers and food production, counter rural vulnerability, promote healthier eating habits, and mitigate environmental degradation caused by pesticide use. Through communication strategies, digital engagement, educational content creation, and partnership development, CSA Brazil seeks to increase awareness and adoption of the CSA model, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and resilient food system across Brazil.
