Pilot Your Ideas for Digital Technology in Food Systems


What gaps or needs are there in your local food system which could be solved by an online organized network, database, or mobile application?


Digital Green, a global agricultural development organization, has an interest in helping Cooperative Extension, through working with eXtension’s Impact Collaborative process, to provide solutions in this area.

How can we strengthen Extension services in the United States by applying digital technologies to address challenges with information access, commodity aggregation, transport services, and data collection and analysis for farmers and extension agents?


Digital Green would like to work with you to help develop and pilot some digital solutions to the challenges you see in your local food system.


Join us for a webinar on Nov. 14, 2017 at 2:00-2:30 eastern. Jennifer Cook, eXtension Digital Green Fellow, and Karin Lion, Digital Green’s Director of Global Agricultural Strategy, will describe and explore this exciting opportunity.


Please bring your program ideas and questions, and be prepared to share them.

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. 

This technology is supported in part by New Technologies for Ag Extension (funding opportunity no.
