National System, Local Connection

Cooperative Extension (Extension) translates science for practical applications; engages with the public by providing reliable information leading to positive action; and transforms individuals, families, communities and businesses in rural and urban areas. Extension operates through the nationwide land-grant university system and is a partnership among the federal government (through the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture) and state and local governments.

Cooperative Extension provides education you can trust to help people, businesses and communities solve problems, develop skills and build a better future.
