Bill > HR5804

This bill, known as the Providing Robust Organics and Diets for Urban Communities Everywhere (PRODUCE) Act, aims to reauthorize and expand the Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production within the Department of Agriculture. Specifically, the bill extends the office's authorization from 2023 to 2030 and increases its annual funding from $25 million to $50 million per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2030. The legislation demonstrates a commitment to supporting urban agricultural initiatives by providing continued funding and operational support for a program that likely focuses on developing innovative agricultural production methods in urban environments, such as community gardens, vertical farming, and other city-based food production strategies. By extending the office's authorization and increasing its budget, the bill seeks to promote sustainable food systems, improve access to fresh produce in urban areas, and support agricultural innovation in metropolitan settings.
