Info about the Project
In Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), members of a local community invest upfront in local farms before a harvesting season in return for "shares" of weekly produce. This promotes agricultural & economic prosperity for the farmers & a sense of civic community. Today, CSAs have evolved to reach broader customer groups and often lack a sense of community. Through a user-centered approach, we learned that farmers need better platforms to support CSAs while customers need more information transparency to streamline their CSA journey. We designed a CSA portal to build a stronger CSA ecosystem.
Faculty: Dr. Richard Henneman, Dr. Michael Elliott
Students: Gurudutt Perichetla, Yining Liu, Kevin Hwang
