Bloomington, Ind. — The Bloomington City Council recently passed an urban agriculture ordinance, which will become part of the city's new Unified Development Ordinance.  In short, the ordinance, which was passed unanimously, defines "urban agriculture" and "community garden" and lists them as permitted activities in all residential zones within the city.

"Getting (the ordinance) into the zoning code was a major victory and will no doubt help promote local food production and food security," said John D. Galuska, one of the supporters. He also expects efforts to get Mayor Mark Kruzan to sign an official proclamation in support of urban agriculture.
