The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is committed to working with farms of all sizes and in all locations, including those in urban areas, and offers a wide variety of programs and services to urban producers to help them start, expand and improve their operations. Urban producers in New York City are invited to join a pilot program for urban and suburban producers that includes the opportunity to participate in Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Committees (COC), a critical part of FSA operations that allow grassroots input and local administration of federal farm programs.
