Publications

The Extension Foundation is committed to helping Cooperative Extension professionals share their valuable work with a wider audience. We partner with Extension programs through initiatives like the New Technologies for Ag Extension (NTAE) program to produce digital publications and project reports. These publications showcase knowledge gained, best practices, and successful models that can be replicated by other Extension professionals across the country.

Topics include:
Climate • DEI • Engagement • Rural Resiliency • Agriculture • Environment •Health and Nutrition • Evaluation • Technology (hubs, portals, apps, using games in Extension education) • and more!

Publications can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF. Each publication is also entered into the national Cooperative Extension System registry and shared in Connect, Extension Foundation’s online social media platform.

We hope you’ll take a peek, share the publications with your colleagues, and let us know your thoughts. If you have an idea for a publication, we’d love to hear from you.

Our mission is to help Cooperative Extension generate a more visible, measurable, local impact.

We achieve this through our nationally funded programs made possible by member dollars and cooperative agreements with federal agencies, and through partnering on state, regional, and national initiatives with Cooperative Extension and the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP). We serve all Land Grant Universities, regardless of membership status.

The Extension Foundation is a nonprofit established by Extension Directors and Administrators nationwide. Extension Foundation is embedded in the U.S. Cooperative Extension System and serves on Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP).
