In Georgia, picking wild fruit could cost you $1,000 — unless you go here

In Georgia, picking fruit off a tree could cost you $1,000 — unless you know where to go.

The AJC's Najja Parker learns how urban food forests are reconnecting with the land and reshaping the future of food justice. Credits: AJC | Library of Congress | The Conservation Fund
