The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) thanks Senators Heinrich <\/em><em>(D-NM)<\/em><em>, Hoeven (R-ND) Murray (D-WA), and Collins (R-ME), for their leadership in delivering a responsible agriculture spending bill, and looks forward to ensuring that the Senate&#8217;s proposal prevails outright in any final FY20204 appropriations legislation,\u201d<\/em> said <strong>Mike Lavender, NSAC Policy Director.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding levels for several NSAC priority programs are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, $50 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organic Transition Research Program, $7.5 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program, $20 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conservation Technical Assistance, $800 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, $10 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office of Urban Agriculture &amp; Innovative Production, $8.5 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, both the House and Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittees failed to provide funding for the Office of Urban Agriculture &amp; Innovative Production (OUAIP) despite <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/blog\/farmers-communities-and-congressional-leaders-seek-full-funding-for-urban-agriculture-and-innovative-production\/\">interest in and support for<\/a> the grants and cooperative agreements offered through OUAIP being at an all-time high. Therefore, NSAC led a group of 140 stakeholders in response to the potential cuts, <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/FY24-Approps_OUAIP_Final.pdf\">delivering a letter<\/a> to Congressional appropriators in July. Senator Stabenow\u2019s (D-MI) steadfast leadership for OUAIP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agriculture.senate.gov\/newsroom\/dem\/press\/release\/stabenow-fights-to-restore-funding-for-urban-agriculture\">resulted in a successful floor amendment<\/a> that restored funding for the office. Looking beyond appropriations, the upcoming farm bill reauthorization provides an opportunity to build on the growing support for OUAIP to ensure that it is no longer&nbsp; subject to the annual appropriations process. Senators John Fetterman (D-PA) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Representatives Alma Adams (D-NC-12) and Shontel Brown (D-OH-11) introduced the Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act (S. 2591, H.R. 5915) which would, among other improvements, provide mandatory funding that responds to the rapidly growing demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cNSAC applauds the adoption of an amendment that not only restores funding for the Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production but demonstrates the growing support for the Office within Congress. OUAIP\u2019s activities extend beyond increasing proximity of fresh produce in urban centers; it is expanding the reach of USDA\u2019s farm services to better serve the emerging population of urban, small-scale and indoor growers,\u201d <\/em>commented <strong>Hannah Quigley, NSAC Policy Specialist.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As with much of the Senate bill, it is important to understand the larger context.&nbsp; The confines of the debt-limit deal made funding increases across the bill challenging. The Senate bill falls short of providing an appropriation for the Farming Opportunities Training and Outreach Grant Program (FOTO), which includes both the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program and Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers (Section 2501). While FOTO receives $25 million in mandatory funding that is unaffected by annual appropriations, the program has also received additional discretionary appropriations in recent years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">About the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition is a grassroots alliance that advocates for federal policy reform supporting the long-term social, economic, and environmental sustainability of agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities.
