This thesis examines local food production and urban agriculture in four cities ofthe Milwaukee metropolitan region: Waukesha, West Bend, Mequon, and Racine. Morespecifically, it (1) examines what city laws, regulations, and policies are in place topromote urban agriculture, and (2) combines that data with interviews of practitionersand activists to posit each city?s experience in a regional food system context. Its purposeis to begin building a foundation of knowledge of food systems surrounding dense innercities, starting with the Milwaukee region. In doing this, it contributes to the broaderliterature portraying food systems in a regional context.
