During the latter half of the twentieth century, American agriculture underwent a technological revolution which transformed the American food system. While these changes provided benefits such as lower-cost food, it also generated concerns among many people who worried that the unquestioning embrace of technology would hurt rural communities and the environment, while raising questions about food quality and food safety. This paper examines how direct marketing strategies such as community supported agriculture (CSA) may offer a more sustainable alternative to large scale production agriculture, and provides one example of such a model.
