Episode-372- CSAs and Modern Survival Philosophy

Today we talk about CSAs, (community supported agriculture) and how they apply to modern survival living.  We will look at both aspects of the CSA today, meaning purchasing from local CSA growers or actually becoming a CSA grower as a business model.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • What exactly is a CSA and how does it work
  • Are CSAs limited to fruits and vegetables
  • How does the CSA concept rank with the first tenet of modern survival philosophy
  • Combining Permaculture with the CSA Model
  • The Greenhouse Based CSA Model
  • Combining Aquaponics with the CSA Model
  • Why buying local matters
  • The new lie about efficiency and local foods (why are they doing this)
  • Self sufficiency at a community level
  • How modern agriculture created the Federal Reserve
  • Why CSAs make farming a profitable business
