I randomly stumbled upon something called "Solidary agriculture" yesterday. People come together, pay a monthly price to keep a farm running. This makes the farm independent from draughts, bad harvests etc. In return for the money you get fresh produce throughout the year, no price fluctuations, you always get what was produced. Sometimes more sometimes less. If this isn't Solarpunk I don't know what is. It's pretty easy as well, provided there is an initiative like that in your area.
I've seen this called community supported agriculture (CSA), which may help you find a local one.
Good to know! I translated from German, here it is called "Solidarische Landwirtschaft"
I'm genuinely curious. How does this model differ from community-supported agriculture? Or is it just a variation on that concept? I'm just curious what the key distinction might be.
I heard about both for the first time, but from what I have read now it's probably the german equivalent to CSA.
