The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is now accepting applications for Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production Grants. The deadline to apply is April 9.
The primary goal of the UAIP projects is to support the development of urban agriculture and innovative production.
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.
