Excerpt:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators John Fetterman (D-PA) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) reintroduced the Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act to improve federal support for urban farmers. This bill would strengthen the quality and delivery of technical assistance for urban and innovative producers, allow partnerships with community experts, and expand farmers’ access to grant funding. The bill is also co-sponsored by U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-PA), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Tina Smith (D-MN), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), and John Hickenlooper (D-CO).
“Our farming industry is the backbone of Pennsylvania and our farmers deserve support from the federal level,” said Senator Fetterman. “They’ve made significant contributions to our commonwealth, and I’m proud to reintroduce the Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act with my colleagues to continue supporting these hard workers who keep our families fed.”
“Food security is national security,” said Senator Slotkin. “We must be able to feed ourselves, by ourselves, and that starts with putting American farmers first. By design, the Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act delivers much-needed relief to producers nationwide by expanding grants, increasing funding and resources for our underserved farmers, while also boosting urban farming investment in Detroit and for community gardens in places like Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.”
Pennsylvania continues to be a leader in urban agriculture, supporting over 150 urban farms across the Commonwealth with more than $3 million in state-wide investment grants since 2019. By ensuring consistent access to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Service Centers for these hundreds of urban farms, the Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act will better position these farms to access the full suite of USDA services for the often smaller and unique structure of urban and suburban farms.
