University of Minnesota Extension Service
In order to educate Minnesotans interested in topics ranging from renewable energy to food safety, the University of Minnesota has established an Extension Service that provides community access to University resources through various county and regional offices around the state. By having these various offices, University organizations are able to reach out to communities to spread awareness for their respective issues of interest, as well as be able to respond to individual queries through area extension educators. With such organizations as the Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture (MISA) and the Center for Urban Ecosystems and Sustainability (CUES) represented, essential ecological issues are receiving increasingly widespread attention through in print information and personal meetings made possible by this program.
