Examples of Urban Agriculture and Innovation Production (UAIP) Projects
UAIP funds both urban farm planning and implementation. Projects include:
The Center for Land-Based Learning in Sacramento, California, received a three-year planning grant totaling $440,182 during the 2020 UAIP grant cycle, intended to fund an assessment of current urban agriculture activities in West Sacramento and identify opportunities for growth in low-income, food insecure communities.
Arkansas Interfaith Power and Light used a 2020 grant to improve local food access and assist Little Rock urban farmers in project implementation, providing 13 chicken coops, 76 garden beds, 25 beehives, 100 shiitake mushroom logs, 4 greenhouses, and more than 150 egg-laying chickens and ducks.
Other projects funded through UAIP grants include sustainable agriculture training programs for at-risk youth in Texas and hydroponic farms in schools in New York City.
