Abstract

Throughout Europe almost half a million people choose to acquire food products from a network of community supported farms, thus changing the ways in which food products are produced, processed, distributed and valued in everyday life. The community supported agriculture (CSA) has a ten-year history in Romania (starting with 2008) as a concept linked to ethical consumption, solidarity and revival of traditional values. The study is based on case studies of how the concept was implemented in Romania, challenges for communicators and advocates regarding the В‘no logoВ’ advertising in favor of this concept and the insertion of Romanian experiences in the European and international trends in attaining such UN goals as improving livelihoods, protecting the environment and achieve sustainable development in rural areas and improving the management of natural resources. The communication campaigns and the projects that supported the promotion of this type of relations still rely mainly on a tiny layer of consumers, ready to share the philosophy behind new types of economic relations, where ethical considerations, solidarity and trust represent core values. The CSA model remains an early attempt to introduce new patterns of economic relations in Romania, in the larger trend of fair trade and responsible consumption.
