You might also ask your alderman for help.<br /><br />Another source of information would be the American Planning Association (www.planning.org), headquartered in Chicago, though generally one has to be a member to benefit from this professional membership organization's services. However, many of their publications probably are at the Chicago Public Library or available through your college or through the public library on interlibrary loan.<br /><br />Some of their publications on food planning include:<br />-The August/September 2009 issue of Planning, the Magazine of the APA is entitled "Special Issue: The Food Factor."<br />-A Planners Guide to Community and Regional Food Planning (PAS Report 554), www.planningbooks.com<br />-"Community and Regional Food Planning" (PAS Memo, Sept. 2007), www.planning.org/pas/memo/2007/sep/index.htm<br />-"Zoning for Public Markets and Street Vendors" (Zonng Practice, Feb. 2009), www.planning.org/zoningpractice/2009/pdf/feb.pdf<br /><br />The website UrbanChickens.org is compiling a state-by-state list of ordinances.
