Extension Agents
Extension Agents are professionals who provide educational resources and support to communities, particularly in areas like agriculture, health, and environmental sustainability. They work for organizations such as the Cooperative Extension System, which is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Their goal is to help individuals and groups improve their quality of life through research-based information.
These agents often conduct workshops, demonstrations, and one-on-one consultations to share knowledge and skills. They serve as a bridge between researchers and the public, ensuring that the latest findings in fields like agronomy and nutrition reach those who can benefit from them.
