Alpharetta Council Members voted recently to officially adopt a City Agriculture Plan. Food Well Alliance and the Atlanta Regional Commission selected Alpharetta as the second metro city to develop such a plan and helped guide the city through the process. Food Well Alliance will provide $75,000 in funding. The city will match those funds to help bring the plan to life.
During the community engagement phase six key themes emerged as important to residents including education, increasing access to locally grown food, community connectivity and empowerment, homeowners association regulations, sustainability, green spaces, composting and reducing food waste.
