Cooperative Extension is a nationwide educational network that provides research-based information to help individuals and communities improve their quality of life. It is a partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, land-grant universities, and local governments, focusing on agriculture, family and consumer sciences, youth development, and community development. Through workshops, classes, and resources, Cooperative Extension aims to address local needs and challenges. It serves farmers, families, and youth by offering practical advice and support, fostering sustainable practices, and promoting healthy lifestyles. This initiative helps bridge the gap between research and everyday life, making knowledge accessible to all.
