Extension brings University research and resources to all Nebraskans through school-based nutrition education, food safety training for foodservice workers and even connecting local farmers with school lunch programs. Nebraska Extension is creating consumer confidence in our food systems and nourishing the overall wellbeing of Nebraskans all across the state.
