The Department of Agriculture's National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $277,363 Project Grant to Trellis For Tomorrow under the Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production federal grant program. The grant will support Trellis For Tomorrow's efforts to improve food justice and sustainability in two urban clusters with high percentages of food insecurity by developing closed loop food systems. Specifically, Trellis For Tomorrow will expand on existing work with partner entities to improve access to healthy foods in these areas through July 2025. By addressing both urban agriculture practices and food access concurrently, this funding aims to enhance food security for vulnerable communities through innovative and localized solutions.
