USDA

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers a variety of grants and resources aimed at promoting urban agriculture and innovative production through its Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (OUAIP). These grants are designed to support the development and expansion of urban agriculture projects, fostering local food production, improving food access, and providing educational opportunities in urban settings.

In 2023 Teen Start Inc. in partnership with Village Family Farms was awarded funds to purchase a 40ft Hydroponic Indoor Grow Unit to increase food access and STEM agriculture education in Cleveland's Hough Neighborhood.
