Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station Cooperative Extension (NJAES) helps the diverse population of New Jersey adapt to a rapidly changing society and improvetheir lives through an educational process that uses science-based knowledge. We focus on issues and needs relating to agriculture and the environment; management of natural resources; food safety, quality, and health; family stability; economic security; and youth development.

NJAES is an integral part of Cook College, the New Jersey Agriculture
Experiment Station, and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and is
funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, the State of New
Jersey, and County Boards of Chosen Freeholders.

NJAES reaches people through meetings, workshops, conferences, publications, electronic communication, distance learning and mass media. Thousands of New Jerseyans are reached through the combined efforts of professionals and volunteers who provide educational programs in all counties throughout the state.
