Over the next few years, Chicago Community Gardeners Association (CCGA) and
Advocates for Urban Agriculture (AUA), in collaboration with partners
throughout Chicago, will be focusing our efforts on co-creating an urban
agriculture plan. As such, the purpose of this listening session is to
receive community feedback on what your experiences have been as a gardener
in Chicago. We are interested in hearing more about what challenges you’ve
encountered as an urban farmer and what opportunities you envision for
Chicago. We are gathering and collaborating on ideas that should be
included in the urban agriculture plan to make growing food, medicine,
habitat and ornamentals more accessible in Chicago.
We will be hosting a group and break out discussion on the following topics:
Land access, soil health, fines, fees, and punitive processes,
environmental justice, and funding for scaling operations and
infrastructure.
