As we all look ahead to a new year, we’re proud to share that AUA was recently named one of Five Urban Farming Projects in Chicago to Watch in 2017 by the Chicago Tribune! The ambitious plans that we and our coalition are growing continue to transform Chicago – but we can only do it with your support. These are the final days of our campaign to raise $1,000 by 12/31 for our grassroots organization – and we’re almost 80% there! Will you join the year-end giving of fellow urban agriculture supporters and contribute as much as you can today?

Urban agriculture provides essential green infrastructure in our city. It connects practitioners and residents to nutritious food, to educational opportunities, to economic and community development, to neighborhood green space, and to so much more. Will you support AUA as we promote this transformation in our city?
