The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) allocated funds for the PGI to provide “other assistance to maintain and improve food and agricultural supply chain resiliency” by educating the public about ways that gardening and growing food locally can strengthen food supply chain resiliency.
In the current fiscal year, funding is available in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the surrounding metropolitan area to support food-producing gardens with an educational component. Applicants must submit their applications via Grants. gov by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on April 21, 2023 and can learn more about this opportunity here.
Pennsylvania NRCS can enter into cooperative agreements from $10,000 up to $75,000 each to fund projects that meet the following criteria: Collaborative effort – garden partners with USDA agencies, federal, state, and local partners, community organizations, schools, religious groups, and other such entities.
Benefits the community – garden produces food for those in need, demonstrates principles of conservation, provides wildlife habitat, and provides a greenspace for gathering. A private garden with no public access or public-facing educational displays would not be eligible.
Environmentally sustainable practices – garden features pollinator habitat, cover crops, soil health, crop rotation, and irrigation management, etc. Here is the link to the full news release and more information about the gardens. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.
