Developing Engaging Extension Curriculum to Enhance Food Security
How can Extension support practices that sustain healthy forests and rangelands, while enhancing food Security?  The rapidly growing population in the United States and the world creates food security challenges at local, regional, and national scales and threatens our ability to export important food resources to other nations. To meet these challenges U.S. farmers and ranchers need innovative approaches to increase productivity while maintaining the sustainability of the lands they manage.
Healthy and productive forests and rangelands are the hallmark of the Renewable Resources Extension Act and essential for addressing our future food security challenges through advances in agroforestry and rangeland management practices. Successful Extension Educators transfer innovations to stakeholders via engaging curricula.
This webinar will feature the work of three successful Extension Educators:
Dr. John Munsell, Agroforestry and whole farm planning, Virginia Tech.
Dr. Diomy Zamora, Agroforestry and Silvopasture Systems, University of Minnesota
Dr. Travis Mulliniks, Nebraska Ranch Practicum, University of Nebraska
Join us as our three speakers share their best kept secrets to engage and educate their stakeholders in methods to sustain forest and rangeland productivity while addressing local, regional and national food security needs.

This webinar series is funded through the Renewable Resource Extension Act under the United States Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture as Award number 2018-46401-288801. The USDA is an equal opportunity employer and service provider.



The project team consists of natural resource professionals from across the U.S. These webinars are focused on the critical issues identified in the past two RREA strategic plans. The purpose is to feature creative, innovative, and effective Extension programs. The webinars will be an opportunity for renewable resource extension professionals to share, learn, and connect with their colleagues across land-grant institutions and disciplines. It is our hope that the webinars will bring increased public awareness of the RREA program and result in more informed, better served stakeholders.
