Food With a Farmer's Face: Community‐Supported Agriculture in the United States

Steven M. Schnell

Geographical Review

Urban Farm DB summary

This abstract discusses the agrarian standard of local adaptation in farming, which asks what is the best way to farm in each of the world's numberless places, as defined by topography, soil type, climate, ecology, history, culture, and local need. It states that this standard requires bringing local nature, people, economy, and culture into a practical and enduring harmony. The text does not present findings from a study but rather a philosophical stance on agriculture.
