U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced today that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will terminate more than 145 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) focused awards, totaling a maximum savings of $148.6 million.
“Putting American Farmers First means cutting the millions of dollars that are being wasted on woke DEI propaganda. Under President Trump’s leadership, I am putting an end to the waste, fraud, and abuse that has diverted resources from American farmers and restoring sanity and fiscal stewardship to the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” said Secretary Rollins.
Programs that will be terminated include:
- Educating and engaging socially disadvantaged farmers on conservation practices: $575,251
- Creating a new model for urban forestry to lead to environmental justice through more equitably distributed green spaces: $192,246
- Expanding equitable access to land, capital, and market opportunities for underserved producers in the Bay Area: $2,500,000
