Sharing the Harvest: CSA Program in Alentejo
Empowering local organic food systems through community-supported agriculture in Alentejo
or
Detail description
Sharing the Harvest (CSA Program) is a pioneering 2015 initiative in Portugal promoting organic, locally sourced food through a solidarity-based model. It connects consumers and producers in a mutual commitment, ensuring fair income for farmers and regular access to chemical-free, agroecologically grown produce. Based in the Alentejo region, where land has been chemical-free for 25 years, the programme offers a six-month subscription at €60/month, including seasonal workshops and knowledge-sharing events. The initiative upholds food as a Common Good and supports sustainable, resilient food systems.
