Abstract
How will we continue to produce food and feed our population in 2040 while planning for population growth, transportation, homes, and commerce in the Chicago Metropolitan region? This is the question that frames the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning 2040 Food Systems Report, which was developed over the course of 9 months through a participatory community planning process with over 130 food systems stakeholders from the urban and peri-urban areas that make up the Chicago Metropolitan Region. The report was the first report of its kind for the region. It required a collaboration of stakeholders who had not previously worked closely together to define existing conditions, a vision for 2040, a set of recommendations, and a list of indicators. This chapter examines the process by which the report was produced using the community planning strategy and the challenges and opportunities it presented.
