The grants — which will support the growth and sustainability of urban agriculture in cities throughout California — come at a time that urban agriculture programs at the federal level face an uncertain future.

” The USDA’s recent funding freeze has put farms and food banks in a state of uncertainty, with several grants being withheld across the country, prompting legal action. As a result, important programs and projects have been canceled, leaving the agricultural sector facing significant financial instability.
“This funding will play a crucial role in advancing our support for Black, Indigenous, Immigrant, and People of Color farmers by providing the necessary resources to move several businesses to the next phase: Golden State Heirloom Tomatoes and Peppers and the Del Paso Heights Plant Nursery.
As a result, we will be able to contribute to a more robust local food system, providing both food and economic opportunities for vulnerable populations,” said Fatima Malik, Volunteer CEO, Del Paso Heights Growers’ Alliance. Urban farmers play a crucial role in food security, local economies, and the sustainable management of urban spaces.
With rising land prices, unpredictable water access, and extreme weather events, small urban farms continue to face serious barriers to sustainability and growth. “Being awarded this grant allows us to continue our [program] and bring hands-on gardening education to more communities” said Tina Marie, CEO & Founder, Soulful Soil Farms.
“This funding goes a long way in providing tools, seeds, and soil so that more people—some for the first time—can grow their own fresh food. It’s so much bigger than just gardening. We’re teaching life skills and ultimately creating a healthier future together.
