The Urban Food Forest would include edible trees, shrubs, vines, walking trails, community garden beds and a number of other features that would be open to the public for free. — The Hill
The Conservation Fund is working in southeast Atlanta to help create a new 7.1 acre Community Urban Food Forest, the largest in the country. The effort aims to convert an existing agricultural property into a new model for urban park and forestry initiatives by growing a variety of fresh foods for public consumption within a public park.
The food forest will help Atlanta achieve its goal of ensuring "85 percent of the city residents are within one-half mile of fresh food access by 2021," according to a recently-approved Atlanta City Council ordinance.
The City of Atlanta will now take over the site as the development of the food forest moves forward.

Make sure that "85 percent of the city residents are within one-half mile of fresh food access by 2021", but don't make sure that they have access to it.
