URBAN AG SUBAWARD PROGRAM
IERCD URBAN AGRICULTURE SUBAWARD PROGRAM
In June 2024, the IERCD Board of Directors proudly approved funding from the 2023 California Department of Food and Agriculture Urban Agriculture Grant Program. This initiative aims to uplift low-income and disadvantaged communities. Our goal is to enhance community food security, create vibrant green spaces, and foster a thriving local food system.
We developed a two-track funding approach capable of supporting the needs of existing and beginner urban farmers and community partners. From October to December 2024, we received an overwhelming response—50 applications brimming with passion and purpose, highlighting the immense need for investment in urban agriculture within the Inland Empire.
IERCD is excited to introduce our 23 outstanding subaward recipients and highlight their inspiring projects. Some of these projects have been completed, and some are still in progress. To learn more about each awardee and their project, view the information below!
This webpage is under development and will be updated as these projects progress!
