This booklet is published as part of the EatingCraft International project funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme and is part of a collective writing process undertaken by many CSAs.

The publication clarifies the undoubted connection between PGS and CSA and show hoe the two approaches are being similar in their overall objectives to improve the livelihoods of organic farmers and increase access to safe food. In fact, it is possible to combine the principles of PGS with that of CSA, and deepen the relationship between consumers and farmers. The linkage is illustrated with experiences in France and Belgium. After a first cycle of experimenting with PGS (between 2010-2016 in France), CSA initiatives are reflecting on how to bring forward this experience and continue to experiment more.
