The mayor is expected to release San Francisco's first food policy in the next several months, and one of the cornerstones will be decreased reliance on imported food. The policy will also encourage urban gardens and call for planting fruit-bearing trees and plants in street medians and abandoned lots.

San Francisco consumes about 1 million tons of food each year and the Bay Area consumes about 6 million tons, said Jared Blumenfeld, director of the city's Department of the Environment. More than 20 million tons of food - and 80 different types of food - are produced every year within a 200-mile radius of San Francisco.
