CropConnect: enabling community supported agriculture
Pages 2799 - 2804
Abstract
This research describes a user-centered design effort to facilitate community supported agriculture programs. This process resulted in a paper prototype of a web-based system that connects a diverse user group more efficiently and robustly than at present. The prototype was evaluated by several stakeholders who were able to successfully accomplish their tasks.
