Advocates for Urban Agriculture

AUA envisions a local, climate-resilient, food economy in the Chicagoland region where earth stewards are supported by equitable polices and resources to positively shape food access, community wellness, and environmental health.

AUA transforms food access, local economies, community wellness, and climate resiliency in Chicagoland, through policy advocacy, education and resources to safely grow medicine and food. We primarily serve working class residents and earth stewards on the south and west sides of the city.
