The bill would strengthen the federal government's Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production, which helps cities and suburbs grow food locally through programs like community gardens and rooftop farms. This would benefit urban farmers, community organizations, and city residents looking to increase access to fresh produce in areas where grocery stores are scarce. The changes aim to expand funding and support for these local food-growing initiatives across the country.
