Food Systems

The Chicago region’s comprehensive plan’s theme of Liveable Communities offers four recommendations, including "promote sustainable local food." This section of the plan addresses production of food in the region as well as people's ability to access affordable, nutritious fresh food. It describes the quality of life, economic, and environmental benefits of local foods; describes current conditions and offers several indicators for food production and access; explores recommendations for facilitating food production, increasing access, and raising awareness; lists implementation action items; and discusses funding.
