What is Viability in CSA and LSPA Networks?
Viability seeks to consolidate the economic and structural foundations of CSA and LSPA networks. Numerous networks encounter difficulties in ensuring equitable wages for farmers and maintaining the economic sustainability of the network.
During the course of the ViVid Project, we focused on trying to empower networks to become more resilient and better positioned to support farmers and consumers in the long run, working on consolidating their economic, organizational, and strategic sustainability, by refining economic strategies and governance, as well as by promoting methods to uphold network coordination and cohesion.
On the dedicated page you will find a Handbook to support the sustainability of CSA initiatives and their networks by facilitating the identification of priorities for collective action and foster the capacity of members to communicate effectively.
This resource equips participants to enhance their skills in strategically implementing diagnoses, planning the execution of concrete actions, improving interpersonal communication and active listening among members, and mastering various strategic tools for CSAs.
You will also find clips from Coaching Webinars focused on various topics, such as the challenge to be financially sustainable, commitment of members and volunteers, fundraising burnout, and more!
These resources will soon be available in French, Spanish, Czech, German,and Italian, check them out!
