Faith in Place is an American organization based in Chicago, Illinois that coordinates religious leaders to address environmental sustainability issues.[1] Partnering with religious congregations, Faith in Place promotes clean energy and sustainable farming.[1] Since 1999, Faith in Place has partnered with over 700 congregations in Illinois.[2][3][4]
Faith in Place has established cooperative fair trade markets, and, for a time, the Eco-Halal cooperative for "Muslim consumers to purchase sustainably raised lamb, chicken, and beef".[3][5]
