From FARWELL@macc.wisc.edu Fri Oct 9 15:31:49 1992 Date: Fri, 09 Oct 92 09:20 CDT From: Gretchen Farwell Subject: Inquiry To: SANET-MG@oes.orst.edu My name is Gretchen Farwell. I am a librarian at Steenbock Memorial Library on the University of Wisconsin - Madison campus. We are the state resource library for agriculture and the life sciences. A current hot topic here is community supported agriculture. Do any of you know where I can find published material on this phenomenon? I currently have a pamphlet published by the Bio-Dynmanic Farming and Gardening Association entitled "Community Related Agriculture." I found only two references in Agricola to this concept. One of them is an article entitled "Vegetables for All" from the September 1987 issue of "Organic Gardening". I also have a photocopy of an aticle entitled "Share the Land" from the May 15, 1991, "Washington Post"; another photocopy of an article entitled "Fresh Hope for the Small Farmer" (June 1989 from an unknown source). Steenbock has also purchased the book, "Farms of Tomorrow", by Trauger Groh and S. McFadden from the Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association. I would be grateful to receive any other sources of information about this concept known as CSA, coummunity-supported agriculture, subscription farming, or community farms. I am also interested in finding published information on the concept of local or indigenous knowledge as applied in "developed" (First and Second World) countries. There is a prodigious amount of information concerning Third World applications of this idea. Thank-you.
