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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.
