During the Coronavirus crisis, it has become clear how fragile and vulnerable agro-industrial supply chains can be. However, a movement known as "Community Supported Agriculture" (CSA) is at its peak, a model of local marketing providing healthy and nutritious products from the field to the kitchen. Members buy a share of a farm's often organic harvest that gets delivered weekly in a box. Interest in local, fresh and organic products has soared during this COVID-19 pandemic. CSA programs almost everywhere report a surge in memberships and growing waiting lists.

As a result of this health crisis, the consumers are concerned about the acquisition of fresh products and their traceability, so the CSAs have become popular as consumers can acquire their fresh products without having to stand in long lines due to the social distance in the supermarkets or without thinking about the risk of contamination that the products they are going to buy may have, which makes the CSAs highly attractive, promote short supply chains and directly support the local producers by linking them with consumers.
