Japan has five potential consumer segments for Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA), with “Sustainable Food Seekers” showing the highest interest—as shown by scientists from Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo). Unlike other countries, “Food Education and Learning Opportunities” and “Contribution to Environmental and Social Issues” majorly influenced Japanese consumers’ intentions to participate in CSA. These findings could help CSA organizations, policymakers, and producers develop tailored strategies to promote CSA participation in Japan.
