 I just found out about the Atlanta Local Food Initiative (ALFI).  It joins many different groups "to build a local food system that enhances human health, promotes environmental renewal, fosters local economies, and links rural and urban communities".  They follow all of the news stories about local food and put links to them under the news tab on their website.  They are partners with many different groups including Emory University Sustainable Food Initiative, CDC, Heifer International, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension and Center for Urban Agriculture, as well as some others.  They have events listed on their website and contact information, which can be used for volunteer oportunities.

Their website has a lot of good information.  If you are interested in local food check it out here.
