Grow Your Own Food Act
Summary
The Grow Your Own Food Act (H.R. 3543) aims to expand the federal Micro-Grants for Food Security Program to help individuals and organizations in food-insecure areas produce their own food. The bill would double the maximum grant amounts to $10,000 for individuals and $20,000 for organizations to support small-scale farming, gardening, and livestock projects. Additionally, it would increase total program funding to $30 million and ensure that these grants are not taxed as income or used to reduce a recipient's eligibility for other federal assistance programs like SNAP.
