Enhancing Food Security for Military Families with Cooperative Extension

Enhancing Food Security for Military Families with Cooperative Extension

About This Webinar:

The Cooperative Extension System (CES) is a national network with immense capacity for enhancing food security amongst military families. This webinar introduces programs and resources on food, food security, and community nutrition available through CES and invites service providers to explore collaborative opportunities in these areas.

Participants will:

  • Learn about CES national and regional programs and management practices regarding food, food security, and community nutrition.
  • Learn about CES and land grant applied research in the food security arena.
  • Gain awareness of existing food security and community nutrition partnerships between cooperative extension and DoD installations and the possibilities for forging these alliances in their own communities.


Food Security in Focus

Take advantage of OneOp’s Food Security in Focus collection, offering live and on-demand programming related to food security.

Among our nation’s active-duty service members and their families, an estimated 24 percent are food insecure. Food insecurity adversely impacts racial/ethnic minority populations, lower-income populations, and rural and remote populations. Additionally, a rise in economic insecurity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to increased food insecurity in vulnerable populations. Join OneOp as we focus on expanding food security for the military family and mobilizing family service professionals at federal, state, and local levels to work together on this issue.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
