Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production Grants

Applications are due by March 10, 2025.
USDA’s Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production is accepting applications for $2.5 million in Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production Grants. Eligible applicants include local government entities and nonprofits. The agency expects the amount of each award to range from $100,000 to $250,000, for projects up to two years in duration. The grants support planning and implementation activities. Planning activities will initiate, develop, or support the efforts of farmers, gardeners, citizens, government officials, schools, members of tribal communities, and other stakeholders in areas where access to fresh foods are limited or unavailable. Implementation activities will accelerate existing and emerging models of urban and/or innovative agricultural practices that serve multiple farmers or gardeners. Innovation may include new and emerging, as well as indigenous or non-traditional agricultural practices.
