Details:
This initiative supports local farmers and growers by increasing access to and production of fresh, locally produced food, helping build stronger, more self-sufficient neighborhoods.
Kansas City faces ongoing challenges when it comes to food access. Years of underinvestment in local food infrastructure, combined with federal funding cuts, have left many communities without reliable access to healthy food. The PLANT Microgrant Program seeks to change that by investing directly in the local growers and food system.
