Support / Discussion

AUA is a coalition of individuals, organizations and businesses working to support and expand sustainable agriculture in the Chicago area, from home- and community-based growing to market gardens and small farms.

The group meets quarterly and maintains an array of working groups dedicated to pursuing AUA’s mission through advocacy, outreach and resource sharing, with AUA’s Board of Directors acting as its governing body.

We have tasked ourselves with the protection, enhancement, restoration, and – in urban areas – expansion of our shared natural environment.

This includes public advocacy at all governmental levels, outreach to all environmental organizations, public education at community events, and advocacy for and supervision of State of California mandated public coastal access and easements.

Increasingly, Mother Nature needs representation. Someone has to stand up for the environment when no one else will.

OUR HAPPY HOURS let us meet together for community in and exposure to sustainable or veggie restaurants.
