The Department of Agriculture (USDA) terminad $2.5 billion in ‘wasteful’ grants that went toward gender-based causes, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said Tuesday. <\/p>\n
The USDA got rid of 420 grants for a savings of $2.3 billion, according to DOGE. <\/p>\n
Among the programs the money was used for, $361,000 went toward ‘gender non-conforming, non-binary, two-spirit’ BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) farmers in New York.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Another $150,000 was used for ‘gender-lensed curricula designed to be transdisciplinary in the food, agriculture, natural resources and human sciences.’<\/p>\n
Even Ghana benefited, with $100,000 earmarked for ‘climate resilience and sustainable agriculture’ in the African nation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In addition, federal agencies eliminated 179 contracts with a ceiling value of $1.87 billion and savings of $280 million. <\/p>\n
The federal government spent $207,000 on a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services consulting contract for a ‘grant writing workshop’ and an $89,000 Treasury Department contract for a ‘country program manager in Namibia.’<\/p>\n
Another $1.8 million Trade & Development contract was spent on ‘energy and climate advisory services.’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
