University of Minnesota Extension

About Us

Extension takes the latest research from the University labs into people's lives - where they live, work and play.

We address issues that are important to Minnesota ... safe water ... farm profitability ... healthy food ... renewable energy ... main street business challenges ... limited family finances ... youth with too much time on their hands ... and the list goes on.

We listen to and collaborate with individuals, organizations and communities in order to discover, develop and deliver research-based education and information that is relevant, practical and useful.
