In 2015, EFNEP funded 75 land-grant universities with $67.9 million, using an interactive, research-based approach to directly reach 119,351 adults and 377,702 children, and to improve diet quality, physical activity, food safety, and budgeting practices. Outcomes include reported nutrition and resource-management improvements, food cost savings, and better food-group consumption aligned with MyPlate guidance.","United States Department of Agriculture  \nNational Institute of Food and Agriculture  \n[www.nifa.usda.gov/efnep](www.nifa.usda.gov/efnep)[ ](www.nifa.usda.gov/efnep)@USDA_NIFA  \n2015 impacts: THE ExPaNDED FOOD aND NUTRITION EDUcaTION PROGRaM  \nS  \nince 1969, USDA’s Expanded Food, Nutrition, and Education Program (EFNEP), administered by the National Institute of  \nFood and Agriculture, has reached more than 32.5 million low-income families and youth, teaching them to improve their diets, be more physically active, stretch their food dollars, and handle their food safely. In 2015, NIFA provided $67.9 million in EFNEP funding to 75 Land-Grant Universities. Using a research-based, interactive approach, EFNEP educators worked directly with 119,351 adults and 377,702 children and reached more than 340,000 family members indirectly.  \nREacHING LOw-INcOME FaMILIES  \n85% of EFNEP participants who reported income are at or below 100% of poverty, earning $24,250 a year or less for a family of four.  \n15% of families above poverty  \n85% of families at or below poverty  \nup to 185% of poverty  \n$44,863 for a family of 4  \nup to 100% of poverty  \n$24,250 for a family of 4  \nup to 75% of poverty  \n$18,888 for a family of 4  \nup to 50% of poverty  \n$12,125 for a family of 4  \n0%  \nDEFINING THE PROBLEM  \nObesity, poor nutrition, and limited physical activity are significant health concerns. Poor health disproportionately affects minority and low-income populations. Educational opportunities and resources are limited.  \n\n| INVESTING IN THE SOLUTION\u003Cbr>EFNEP brings together federal, state, and local resources to target two primary audiences: low-income families with young children and low-income youth. The program operates in more than 800 counties throughout the\u003Cbr>50 states, six U. S. territories, and the District of Columbia. Each year, approximately 500,000 new participants complete the program. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| REacHING DIVERSE POPULaTIONS\u003Cbr>At least 74% of all EFNEP adults are minorities. |  |\n| \u003Cbr>minority\u003Cbr>74%\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>26%\u003Cbr>non-minority or not provided |  |\n| IMPROVING DIETS\u003Cbr>95% of adults improved their diet, including consuming an additional ½ cup of fruits and vegetables. | \u003Cbr>95% |\n\nSaVING MONEy  \nEFNEP graduates reported a collective food cost savings of:  \n$1,364,013.05  \nFelicia is a stay-at-home mom with 3 children under 10. After an EFNEP lesson, she told Heather she thought the “stomach flu” her family gets several times a year might actually be due to poor food safety practices. Heather spent some extra time with Felicia discussing proper food storage techniques and safe internal cooking temperatures. Several months after graduation, Felicia called to thank Heather. She reported that she had been doing all of the suggested things to keep her food safe and that her family had not had the “stomach flu” since. She was grateful to Heather and the EFNEP classes for helping her family be healthier.  \n—Colorado State University (names changed for confidentiality)  \nIn EFNEP, I always compare a healthy snack to an unhealthy one. Every time I do this with 2nd and 4th grade classes, more than 80% of the students bring healthy snacks to school. Most of them say“Look, I brought a healthy snack.” One child said “I know I am not supposed to eat chips but that’s what my mom gave me.” My response was,“It’s ok, just remind mom to give you something healthier tomorrow.” The direct benefit is that children are starting to eat healthy snacks. This shows the need for EFNEP in our public schools.  \n—University of the Virgin Islands  \nOn the first day of class I observed that participants were consuming an unusual amount of soft drinks. I began emphasizing how unhealthy soda consumption was for pregnant women. I encouraged water consumption and provided water for the participants. Some of the class admitted to drinking a 12-pack of high sugar sodas per day.
