Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), known in Germany as Solidarische Landwirtschaft (SoLaWi), is an alternative food system that seeks to strengthen relationships between producers and consumers through shared responsibility, local participation, and sustainable practices.  This research explores how CSA networks connect rural and urban places in the Berlin–Brandenburg region and what these connections reveal about regional development, community building, and socio-ecological transformation. By integrating qualitative, quantitative, and spatial methods, this research contributes to a better understanding of how alternative food networks can support regional resilience and place-based value creation.  Conducted by an interdisciplinary student research group, the project adopts a mixed-methods approach to investigate the social, spatial, and organisational dimensions of the regional CSA network. The research design began with fieldwork at a CSA farm, where observations and discussions with participants informed the development of subsequent research activities. Building on these insights, the project combines stakeholder mapping, ethnographic fieldwork, GIS-based spatial analysis, and network visualisation. An interactive network map has been developed using JavaScript to illustrate relationships between farms, intermediary organisations, educational institutions, civil society groups, and governance actors. To further explore participants’ experiences and strengthen the interpretation of our findings, a collaborative workshop with CSA members and other network stakeholders will be held in August.  Preliminary findings suggest that CSA functions as more than an alternative model of food production and distribution. It creates networks that facilitate cooperation, knowledge exchange, and resource sharing across rural and urban communities. The stakeholder network highlights the important role of intermediary organisations in connecting diverse actors, while the spatial perspective demonstrates how these relationships contribute to a broader regional system rather than isolated local initiatives.
