What IS Urban Agriculture?

USDA assists urban, small-scale, and innovative producers with growing, processing and selling. We provide technical and financial assistance for a variety of growing operations, including community farms and gardens, rooftop, indoor, and vertical farms, and hydroponic, aeroponic, and aquaponic facilities.

These operations provide healthy, local food, encourage economic development, provide employment and on-the-job training, expand community greenspaces, foster community collaboration, build climate and disaster resilient communities, and are an essential part of a resilient diversified food system.

Portland, Oregon is one of 17 cities across the US to receive an Urban Agriculture USDA Service Center. Our Urban Agriculture USDA Service Center is located in the Clackamas County FSA office in Beavercreek, OR.
