Urban Agriculture Amendment Act of 2025 expands eligibility for urban farming tax abatements and land leases in the District of Columbia.

The Urban Agriculture Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Food Production and Urban Gardens Program Act of 1986 to expand eligibility for tax abatements and land leases for urban farms. The bill allows all crops, including produce and horticultural items, to qualify for these benefits. It prohibits farms from growing crops in site soil, requiring instead the use of raised beds, greenhouses, hydroponic towers, or other similar methods.
