位于亚利桑那州马里科帕县的凤凰城市，据Phoenix市政府公布的消息，该市环境计划办公室在2027年度粮食系统拨款（Food Systems Grant）周期中共拨出11.6万美元，资助全市六个项目，涵盖校园农场、原住民烹饪工作坊、康复导向餐食与社区农产品市场等方向。
其中，位于第四区的四个组织共获7.6万美元，占全市六个入选项目中的四个。奥斯本学区获2万美元，用于“从种子到学生”项目：为期一年，预计覆盖300至360名三至五年级学生，学生将使用水培设备种植与收获食物，参加以亚利桑那本地食材为中心的烹饪与营养课程，并通过学生运营的农贸市场把农产品带回家；项目还包括向本地农户采购，并开发一套可供其他学校采用的课程。
本年度申请需求大幅上升：环境计划办公室共收到90份提案、申请总额165万美元，而上一周期为49份申请、申请额90多万美元。第四区市议员劳拉·帕斯托表示：“对第四区的家庭来说，好食物不只是一顿饭，更关乎健康、文化与社区。”
Phoenix Awards $116,000 in Food Systems Grants; Four District 4 Projects Share $76,000
Phoenix is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona. Four organizations serving Phoenix's District 4 will share $76,000 through the city's 2027 Food Systems Grant cycle, part of $116,000 awarded citywide by the Phoenix Office of Environmental Programs to six selected projects, according to a city announcement.
The projects range from school-based farming to Indigenous cooking workshops, recovery-focused meals and neighborhood produce markets. The Osborn School District received $20,000 for 'From Seed to Student,' a year-long farm-to-school project expected to reach 300 to 360 students in grades three through five. Students will grow and harvest food using hydroponic Flex Farms, take cooking and nutrition lessons centered on Arizona-grown foods, and bring produce home through student-run farmers' markets; the program also includes purchasing from local farmers and developing a curriculum other schools can adopt.
Demand rose sharply this cycle: the office received 90 proposals requesting $1.65 million, compared with 49 applications seeking more than $900,000 in the 2026 cycle. 'District 4 families know that good food is about more than a meal. It's about health, culture and community,' said Councilwoman Laura Pastor.
