In January of 2022, the City of Alpharetta was selected to develop the Metro Atlanta Region's second City Agriculture Plan with the Atlanta Regional Commission and Food Well Alliance. A City Agriculture Plan is a set of recommendations that provide a roadmap for the community to build a vibrant and sustainable community food system over the next 5-10 years.
We are looking to you to help us understand what issues and opportunities need to be addressed in this plan. How does a strong local food system fit into your vision for how Alpharetta is growing? Topics might include expanding access to local food, strengthening farm-to-school programs, amending city zoning ordinances to better support local growing opportunities, supporting soil health and pollinators, and any other related issue areas.
The City is hosting a series of five community conversations to hear your thoughts on these topics and begin creating the Alpharetta City Agriculture Plan. These conversations will be facilitated by Alpharetta local food leaders and refreshments will be provided.
