Abstract

Because Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is considered a greener food shopping option, we hypothesized that users would adopt other sustainability-oriented behaviors. We sought, through 16 qualitative interviews with users, to understand whether CSA use in Montreal, Canada was accompanied by more ecological, non-motorized travel behavior. We find that urban users are typically able to subscribe to a nearby drop-off point and that many of them use non-motorized modes to access their weekly baskets. However, because of the weight of large produce baskets and the set time periods for collection, basket pick-ups by new Covid-19 era users are often part of car-based trip chains.
