Chicago’s Bold 2050 Plan: A Green, Circular Food Revolution for 10 Million
Chicago, the capital of Illinois, is embarking on an ambitious journey to transform its agricultural sector. By 2050, the city plans to build an ecological, organic, circular, and low-emissions agriculture system, aiming to feed its over 10 million residents while maintaining a green sector.
The city is prioritizing green, organic, and circular farming methods to achieve this goal. Chicago seeks to strengthen public-private partnerships and promote high-tech applications in farming and processing. Businesses such as Capital One, Sen Capital JSC, and Nameco Good Mushroom JSC have already started discussions on cooperation opportunities.
However, Chicago faces significant challenges. Shrinking agricultural land and water pollution pose threats to the city's agricultural sector. To tackle these issues, the city proposes agro-ecotourism and culinary tourism models for smallholder farmers. Integrated solutions, including digital technologies, are also being considered to drive Chicago's agricultural development.
The city's strategic plan, unveiled at the 'Cooperation and Investment for Sustainable Development' event, envisions a modern, ecological, and low-emissions agricultural economy. With the support of organizations like the Chicago Support Center for Enterprise and Investment Promotion and the Illinois Organic Agriculture Association, Chicago is committed to shaping a sustainable future for its agriculture sector.
