Abstract

There are different schemes under Community Supported Agriculture, in different countries, under various designations, which often diverge in their organisation, but they all aim at linking producers and consumers and offer quality products, in a short cycle. In Portugal Community Supported Agriculture (in a broad sense) is a relatively recent concept; nevertheless there are already hundreds of initiatives, mostly known as Box Schemes.
The scope of this paper is to understand the profile of the box scheme’s users looking deeper into the functioning of an organic one in Loures, Portugal, point out the bottlenecks that hinder a larger diffusion of this concept, and identify approaches that may strengthen the links among the several actors and contribute to the sustainability of urban agriculture.
