Delta Agriculture Research & Sustainability District Offers Grants
The Grant Program, administered by the Delta Agriculture Research & Sustainability District (DARSD), will provide funding to individuals and small businesses to support food growing efforts throughout the district. As a poor, rural area access to healthy food is a major obstacle for many residents in the region. By providing micro-grants financing tower gardens to individuals, we can reduce the access gap and provide needed healthy food to families and neighborhoods by providing an easy-to-use system that can be used indoor or outdoor. By providing these grants to small businesses, we can provide needed funding to expand existing operations to increase the available food in the region.
