Providing Robust Organics and Diets for Urban Communities Everywhere Act

HR 5804, the PRODUCE Act, extends and increases funding for the USDA's Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production. It reauthorizes the office through 2030 (previously 2023) and doubles its annual funding from $25 million to $50 million for fiscal years 2025-2030. This bill directly affects urban communities by supporting existing programs that expand access to fresh, locally grown food through community gardens, urban farms, and innovative agricultural initiatives. The key change is the increased, long-term funding to strengthen urban agriculture efforts in cities nationwide.
