The USDA has awarded more than $6.4 million to Cultivate KC for conservation efforts and climate-safe agriculture practices. The funding will help its urban farmers implement environmentally safe practices like building soil health with compost and row covers.
“Once they graduate from this farm, having a cost share essentially on some of the expenses that come with using those practices will really help them continue to thrive and develop their own farm site off this land,” said Cultivate KC strategy partner Ami Freeberg.
Cultivate KC’s Juniper Gardens Training Farm in KCK houses its New Roots program where growers from different countries plant seeds and watch them bloom in Kansas City. It’s a collaboration with Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas that helps immigrants and refugees with an agricultural background transition to American farming and start businesses.
“I plant something from my country and then we teach American people how it cooks, how it eats,” said farmer Mediatrice Niyonkuru.
