Strong, healthy families and communities and reduced healthcare challenges lead to better lives for all Nebraskans. Extension is addressing childhood obesity by improving access to safe, nutritious food and encouraging health decisions in terms of eating and physical activity. Extension brings University research and resources to all Nebraskans through nutrition education for all ages, food safety training and connecting producers and farmers with local programs such as farm-to-school. We’re creating consumer confidence in our food system and nourishing the health and vitality of Nebraskans across the state.
Nebraska Extension's Rural Family Stress and Wellness Team promotes the health and wellness of all Nebraskans. Along with the University of Nebraska, this diverse team of community partners meets regularly to share resources and programs that also focus on the unique needs of rural residents.
