The Cooperative Extension Service is a partnership of county, state, and federal government which serves the citizens of Florida by providing information and training on a wide variety of topics. In Florida, the Extension Service is a part of the University of Florida’s Institute of Food an Agricultural Sciences with selected programs at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU).
Extension touches almost everyone in the state from the homeowner to huge agribusiness operations in such areas as food safety, gardening, child and family development, consumer credit counseling, youth development, energy consumption, sustainable agriculture, competitiveness in world markets, and natural resource conservation. Each of Florida’s counties has an extension office.
