WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2024 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing nearly $9 million in funding to local organizations to provide outreach, education and technical assistance to urban agricultural producers in ten U.S. cities. USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is partnering with To Improve Mississippi Economics (T.I.M.E.) to administer an urban farm outreach program offering subawards to community groups that work with producers in cities where FSA has established Urban County Committees.
This partnership with T.I.M..E is part of a $40 million investment made possible by President Biden’s American Rescue Plan. “Working with T.I.M.E. to fund organizations providing on-the-ground support to urban producers is an important step in fulfilling our commitment to the health and sustainability of our communities and building resilient local food systems,” said FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux, “Through T.I.M.E.’s expanded outreach efforts, made possible through USDA funding, we can now connect producers to our Urban USDA Service Centers and broaden the impact of our Urban County Committees and the federal farm programs we offer.”
The local organizations selected for sub-awards and their cities include: Central Arkansas Sphinx Foundation, Little Rock, Ark. Sisters of Color United for Education and Consumption, Denver, Colo. MentorScope Community Outreach, Boston, Mass. The Widget Business Training Company, Jackson, Miss. Cultivate KC, Kansas City, Mo. Zion United Methodist Church, Las Vegas, Nev. Allegheny County Conservation District, Pittsburgh, Pa. South Carolina State University, Columbia, S.C. Black United Fund of Texas, Houston, Texas. Memphis Dawah Association, Memphis, Tenn.
