Newsviews: Chicago urban agriculture

There are dozens of them across Chicago. They vary in size and purpose.

But all of them are providing fresh, healthy food, sometimes for neighborhoods where there isn't much available.

And an organization working to help all these farms grow is Advocates for Urban Agriculture, a coalition of people, organizations and businesses working to support and expand sustainable agriculture in the city.
