Personally I find these both awesome ideas but I wonder about their scalability for larger communities. Does anyone have experience with them?

I have lived in two different US cities that planted native fruit trees in the public spaces. Apples, pears, serviceberries, pawpaw fruit, etc. People were encouraged to enjoy. That isn’t what you call a food forest, but it’s a “do-able” thing that cities could undertake that would help the local pollinators and residents.
There are some communities that have proof of concept food foreststo inspire farmers to adopt them. This one in the KC Metro is a half acre. It may not be all-the-way scalable to the acreage of farms but the sustainability and fewer work hours to provide yields is hopefully appealing enough to have them adopted on some of the acreage they own.
