Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production Competitive Grants Program
Applications must be received by April 9, 2024.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting applications for grants from $75,000 to $300,000 to support the development of urban agriculture and innovative production. The program supports both 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. Local governments, school districts, tribal governments, nonprofits, and special district governments are eligible to apply.
