Rural Prosperity Nebraska is the community development arm of Nebraska Extension and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Founded in 2018, Rural Prosperity Nebraska has one goal: to help Nebraska’s communities thrive.
Imagine a family-owned bakery on Main Street, a bustling farmers market on Saturday mornings, or a sprawling cattle ranch outside of town. No matter the setting or situation, rural communities make Nebraska prosper. Rural Prosperity Nebraska Extension educators team up your communities and local leaders with university faculty and students, combining research with on-the-ground experience, to bring prosperity to your front door.
By exploring Rural Prosperity Nebraska’s four Focus Areas, you get to participate in collaborative programs to help you strengthen your community’s culture, create new economic and leadership opportunities, establish stronger ties to local foods, and turn your community into a place where people want to live, work, and play. Our Rural Tools offer resources to help you learn about improvement opportunities, plan and execute projects, and lead discussions that invigorate your community.
