Metrics to Run a CSA Effectively (for insiders)
By using transparent data collected by the platform. We could come up with some essential metrics to make sure we are running platform in the right direction.
For example, the platform can measure the distance foods need to travel from farm to table. CSA promoting localization so we expect Avergage Farm-to-Table Distance (AFTD) should be smaller if we run the platform well.
But later, when more and more consumers joined, the AFTD increasing. It’s time to look deep in to the data and do customer surveys to find out WHY.
The reason behind should be local consumers have other choices or (far away) city consumers need the foods the most …
AFTD is just one example, I would like to find effecient ways to define and estimate below metrics that I assumed they are essential to maintain a healthy CSA.
Consumer-Producer Bonding
Consumer-Producer Relationship Quality (CPRQ) Metric
[TODO] Think/find a way to estimate CPRQ
Consumer-Producer Collaboration Effort (CPCE) Metric

Consumer-Producer Risk & Reward Sharing Benefit (RRSB) Metric
Could be consumer satification + the variety of products producers offered.
[TODO] Think/find a way to estimate CPRSB
Localization
Avergage Farm-to-Table Distance (AFTD) Metric
Explained above
[TODO] Think/find more Localization Metrics

Metrics to Evaluate CSA Impact (for outsiders)
Mostly be used to outsiders to consider if CSA is good enough for them. And hopfully they will recognized the need of CSA & natural-farming movement and reward it accordingly.
Social Impact

It can be a combination of total carbon reduction and plus others
Total Carbon Reduction (TCR) Metric
