The City of Atlanta’s Local Food Promotion Program
The AgLanta Grown local food promotion program will sync the collective efforts of contributors and consumers in Atlanta’s local food system by: 1) developing a trusted brand for the local agriculture economy, 2) increasing access to market for both AgLanta Grown producers and consumers, and 3) building a broad coalition of producers, consumers, and advocates to stimulate the local food economy and increase revenue for farmers.

On the Horizon
AgLanta Grown will leverage the success of the existing AgLanta initiative. To date the program has created a pathway for municipal land to be converted to urban farms and gardens, established the largest food forest in the country and plays host to large local food system events. AgLanta has forged partnerships with local tool banks , ride-share providers, and educational leaders to bring the local food system forward. This work is accomplished only by working in concert with place-based nonprofits, local residents, and urban agriculture and food system leaders. We will ensure that 85% of Atlanta residents are within a half-mile of fresh food. Please visit the AgLanta resource page to meet partners working towards a shared vision of a more resilient, equitable, inclusive, just, and accessible food system for Atlanta. All are welcome in this movement!
