What does this do?
HR 5804 renews the Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production, which was set to expire in 2023, extending it through 2030. The office funds grants, research, and programs supporting city-based food growing such as community gardens and rooftop farms.
Who does it affect?
City residents, community gardeners, urban farmers, local nonprofits, and schools or organizations running urban food programs are most directly affected. People living in food deserts, where fresh and affordable food is scarce, may also be impacted.
Why does it matter?
Extending the office keeps federal support in place for non-traditional food growing in urban areas. Doubling the annual funding increases the resources available for local food production in cities, which can affect fresh produce availability in underserved neighborhoods.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Current funding: $25M per year
- Proposed funding: $50M per year
- No benefit program changes
