Agriculture & Food Grants

Browse 53 federal agriculture & food grant opportunities. Find funding from top agencies with award amounts up to $75K.

Agriculture grants fund farm programs, food security initiatives, rural development, conservation practices, and agricultural research. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the primary funder through programs like SNAP-Ed nutrition education, Specialty Crop Block Grants, Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development, and the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program. This category also covers food supply chain resilience, local food systems, organic certification cost-share, and agricultural conservation easements. Eligible applicants include farmers, ranchers, agricultural cooperatives, nonprofits, universities, tribal nations, and state departments of agriculture. Award amounts range from $10,000 for small farm programs to millions for agricultural research consortia. Successful applications demonstrate measurable agricultural or food system outcomes, innovative approaches to sustainability, and strong partnerships with land-grant universities or agricultural extension services. Organizations should be aware that many USDA programs have specific eligibility criteria related to farm size, income, and geographic location.
