The Chicago Center for Urban Ecology

The Chicago Center for Urban Ecology (CCUE) represents a convergence of energy and expertise on the part of numerous Chicago organizations, all of which are devoted to bringing about positive change in our system of food production, distribution, and consumption.  When fully realized, CCUE will make healthy food available and increase awareness of wellness issues in undeserved neighborhoods, train students and adults for entry into a “green” economy based on concepts of global citizenship, and serve as a powerful statement about the role that urban dwellers can play in the life cycle of a healthy urban ecosystem. More details are available in our case statement.
