On the other hand, the farmer is no longer forced to produce according to the standards and formal requirements of vendors and customers. The farmer-consumer alliance that emerges in the context of CSA depends on the feasibility of the farm's operations, shared common interests and the flexibility to accept and adapt to changing circumstances.
"The CSA's relationship to members is completely different when compared to the relationship of consumers to the market. In our case we share everything and have no opposing interests. In the market consumers and retailers are always confronted by price: one of them always comes out badly or believes they have. This does not happen with AMAP. However, I do not consider my products to be commodities nor distribution as a sale. I regard this as a process: a group of people charged us with providing their food-supply." à ron Pető, Biokert, Szigetmonostor, Hungary
