- A floating food forest is making its way around the rivers of New York City.
The barge is loaded with fruit and vegetables that are free to harvest.
It is hoped the project will help address the issue of food insecurity across the US.
Al Jazeera's Andy Gallacher reports from New York.

good idea...try using discarded dumpsters...packed full of nutrients
a lot of neighbours have no parks and no healthy food around, but have a lot of patches of land to sell for development. 😕
Can't see how the big Apple getting out of the system
Inefficient but okay for a proof of concept I suppose.
Their supermarkets have no vegetables and fruit? this is NY not Somalia....what are they talking about?
Uhh Somalia has loads of organic local markets. That's the only thing they have. It's mostly processed food in supermarkets in America.
They are called food deserts, look it up it's all too common in the us. Mostly corner shops with no fresh produce. Food education is also severely lacking.
Feisal Thanks for educating people a little bit. much needed these day... much needed.
Maurazio -
more like intellectual deserts - people too lazy and stupid to walk to a supermarket,,, rather spend the cash on crack hair weaves and hooch
Feisal No it's not, there's tons of veggies and fruits. You don't know that you're taking about.
Communist propaganda
It's a fallicy myth to say fruit and veg are the most important elements of your diet. We should be telling our children to eat your meat and dairy (protein and calcium). These are the two most vital parts of your diet along with exercise and plenty of vitamin d from the sun to boost the immune system.
