...what about urban agriculture?

I wonder if the community gardens in New Orleans would qualify for funds...

March 15, 2006: The U. S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) will allocate close to $20.1 million in Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) funding to 26 states affected by natural disasters. ECP gives producers resources to remove debris from farmland, restore fences and conservation structures, provide water for livestock in drought situations and grade and shape farmland damaged by a natural disaster.
