What
is Cooperative Extension?
The Cooperative Extension Service was established by the United
States Congress through the Hatch Act, passed in 1914. The mission
of Cooperative Extension is to disseminate (or extend) science-based
research in agriculture, family and consumer sciences and youth
development (4-H) to the many diverse audiences including homeowners
and the agricultural community. The land grant institution in each
state is responsible for administering Cooperative Extension. Rutgers,
the State University of New Jersey, has established a Cooperative
Extension office in each county.
Cooperative Extension is jointly funded by Rutgers, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and the Boards of Freeholders in each county. Educational
programs are offered without regard to race, sex, handicap, color,
national origin, or age. Rutgers Cooperative Extension is an Equal
Opportunity Employer.
