Building a More Sustainable Food Future

Building a More Sustainable Food Future


Empowering social entrepreneurs and fostering a resilient, food-secure Pennsylvania, the Urban Agriculture Infrastructure Grant Program has opened its doors to applications.

With a generous funding pool of $700,000, this initiative is set to transform urban landscapes into vibrant food hubs, promoting shared purpose and passion among communities.

The primary focus of these grants is to bolster the infrastructure of urban agriculture, bridging gaps, promoting collaboration among entities, and elevating operations to a larger scale.

By overcoming food deserts, these grants pave the way for improved access to fresh, nutritious produce and create opportunities for aspiring social entrepreneurs to thrive.

Pennsylvania, with its diverse urban centers and communities, will witness the metamorphosis of vacant lots and underutilized spaces into flourishing gardens, farms, and food-producing havens.

The ripple effects will be profound, as neighborhoods come together to create sustainable and inclusive ecosystems, reinforcing social ties and fostering a sense of pride and ownership.

Applicants, both seasoned urban farmers and budding enthusiasts, are encouraged to seize this unique opportunity to spearhead projects that align with the program's goals.

Together, they can shape a greener and healthier future for the Keystone State, rooted in food accessibility and community empowerment.

Don't miss this chance to be part of the movement that reshapes the urban landscape, breaking barriers to food access and nurturing a stronger, united Pennsylvania through the power of urban agriculture.

Apply now and become a driving force in the transformative journey toward a more sustainable, prosperous future.
