Farming in Chicago
Like many cities, Chicago lost its connection to local food cultivation. But the tide is already turning.

Excerpt:
Farms provide the necessary foundation for cities. But as cities grow, the distance between human settlement and the natural world that sustains it also grows, often fracturing the foundation on which the city’s existence depends.
Sociologist Lewis Mumford argues that the city has a metabolic relationship with the countryside, and that after the Industrial Revolution, the energy balance that made the city possible became increasingly unstable. Massive agglomerations of people needed more energy, food, and other resources, but also grew more distant from the wellsprings of those resources. At the extreme end of this pattern lies not just ecological disaster, but also a kind of dehumanization, where human beings are chewed up, metabolized, and excreted by the city.
Modern cities are in a state of metabolic disorder. As residents of the city become disconnected from their natural environment, the city’s health suffers, and, at the same time, the community loses sight of the world that nourishes it.
