Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA/NIFA), EFNEP uses education to support participants’ efforts toward self-sufficiency, nutritional health, and well-being. EFNEP combines hands-on learning, applied science, and program data to ensure program effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability.
Routinely, 80 percent or more EFNEP families report living at or below 100 percent of poverty, and nearly 70 percent indicate being of minority status. This is important because chronic disease and poor health disproportionately affects low-income audiences.
Annual data confirms graduates: improve their diets, improve their nutrition practices, stretch their food dollars farther, handle food more safely, and increase their physical activity levels. Nutrition insecurity is a significant national health concern, especially among low-income populations that disproportionately experience poor health.
Often associated with food insecurity, nutrition insecurity is characterized by poor nutrition, limited physical activity, and unsafe food practices. The Impact Report reflects how EFNEP continues to make a difference in the lives of low-income families and youths.
Visit Impact Reports page EFNEP: Taking Charge of Health, One Lesson, One Meal, and One Family at a Time Every day in the United States, families face tough food choices such as how to stretch a food budget, how to make healthy meals their children will actually eat, and how to safely store and prepare food.
