CDFA Secretary Karen Ross spoke about the benefits of urban agriculture at an event hosted March 18 by the Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) at the International Garden of Many Colors in Sacramento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy continuing to invest in urban agriculture and support the growth of farms and farmers across the state, California will strengthen the farmer-consumer connection while creating a more accessible and resilient food system for all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAFF hosted the event to announce 10 farms \u2013 including four in Sacramento \u2013 each receiving $10,000 in pass-through funding from CAFF\u2019s award of $778,061 in the CDFA Urban Agriculture Grant Program<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farms for which CAFF announced funding are in Sacramento, Riverside and Fresno. Funding will go toward projects that enhance farm operations, including tool storage, efficiency equipment, cold storage, and electricity for expanding acreage. Visit CAFF\u2019s CDFA Urban Agriculture Grant Program webpage<\/a> for more information about the farms that will receive funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
