Urban Agriculture Resilience Grant Program

Urban Agriculture Resilience Program

In 2020, the United States Botanic Garden (USBG) and the American Public Gardens Association (the Association) initiated the Urban Agriculture Resilience Program. Since its inception, the program has provided funding to 106 urban agriculture projects nationwide, promoting public garden participation in collaborations that combine food growing and education while addressing food security challenges facing communities.

The USBG and the Association are partnering to support public gardens and their partners in facilitating collaborative urban agriculture, community gardening, and other food-growing programs.

Is your garden or organization already involved or interested in:

• Engaging in an urban agriculture collaboration between a public garden and a partner organization(s)?
• Combining urban food growing and educational programming?
• Facilitating public engagement in urban food growing?
• Addressing community food security challenges?
• Increasing equitable access, representation, and benefit sharing at participating gardens and organizations and in communities?
• Incorporating sustainability and climate resilience into your urban agriculture work?
• Building capacity in urban agriculture within and beyond the public gardens community?

If so, please consider applying for an Urban Agriculture Resilience Program award.
