Among these alternative models, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) or as it is called in Germany, Solidarische Landwirtschaft (Solawi), emerges as a promising model for reshaping the socio-ecological landscape of food production and consumption. By shedding light on the transformative potentials and limitations of Solawis in the framework of a socio-ecological transformation of the local food system this paper aims to share knowledge and a further perspective on the question “How are we going to feed the world?”, the leading question of this working paper series. Through semi-structured expert interviews conducted in fall 2023 within two case studies around Berlin, the Apfeltraum Solawi and the Spörgelhof e.G. and a subsequent qualitative content analysis this work shares relevant insights across diverse domains of Solawi work, such as community-building, relationship with nature, fair wages and ecological farming practices.</p> 2025-02-21T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Thomas Julián Poveda Ríos
