Today (May 6, 2010) at 3:30 p.m. the UAF Anthropology Department will host a colloquium addressing community supported agriculture. David V. Fazzino II, assistant professor of anthropology; Phil Loring, anthropologist in cross-cultural studies; and Rachel Garcia, SNRAS graduate student; will talk about CSAs in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The trio examined CSAs in Alaska from the perspective of the CSA member. Their research began in spring 2009 when they met with CSA operators to distribute a survey to their members. Six CSAs in Fairbanks participated in the study with 122 of 326 CSA members (37.4 percent of CSA members) returning the surveys. The lecture will focus on the effects of CSA participation on reported dietary change and overall satisfaction with the CSA experience from the perspective of the consumer.
The event will be held in Room 304, Eielson Building.
