esquema de canasta (CSA)

Spanish to English Social Sciences Agriculture
¡Socorro amigos! No logro descifrar la frase "esquema de canasta" - peor con el (CSA) - aunque aparece muchas veces en google. Abajo está la frase en la que se encuentra en mi documento:
En los años que lleva xxx organización trabajando, se ha lo grado el establecimiento de 4 Granjas Integrales coordinadas por exalumnos/as, y otras 5 están en proceso de formación; asimismo ha logrado establecer entre éstos y otros grupos, una red de comercio justo y abasto local bajo un esquema de canasta (CSA)...
Si me pueden ayudar a entender qué significa y cómo se traduciría estaría muy agradecida. (Es del perfil de un proyecto de desarrollo en México.)

Box schemes have gained popularity in the last 10 years and are becoming more and more common, especially in urban areas. If you are a member of a box scheme you will have a ‘box’ of fresh, seasonal fruit or vegetables delivered to you at regular intervals.

Box schemes are organised by the farmer, a wholesaler, or by someone in the community who connects directly with a farmer or wholesaler. Box schemes usually operate at the local community level but some ...

Hope this helps!

Note from asker:
Thanks very much Maria and all who commented. CSA definition sounds great. Basket scheme doesn't sound quite right to me. Maybe produce basket system? Any thoughts? Thanks again!
