The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), the nation’s first federal nutrition education program for low-income families and youths, remains at the forefront of providing nutrition education to improve the lives of historically underserved populations.  \nFunded through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), EFNEP has a critical role in accelerating the USDA’s fourpillar approach to Tackle Food and Nutrition Insecurity, one of the Department’s current core priorities. EFNEP also aligns with the historic White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health and corresponding National Strategy, both of which aim to end hunger, improve nutrition and physical activity, and reduce diet-related diseases and disparities. EFNEP is grounded in the latest version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and incorporates MyPlate into teaching activities. In addition, EFNEP has increasingly worked on reducing food loss and waste, another department-wide and national priority.  \nEFNEP is conducted by the Cooperative Extension System through Land-grant Universities in all U.S. states and territories and the District of Columbia. EFNEP is content-and relationship-based, learner-centered, culturally relevant and dynamic. Respect for lived experience is a core value of EFNEP. This is demonstrated by the vital role of peer educators and adaptation of content and methods to embrace differences in foods, learning styles, eating practices, languages, and family and community dynamics of those participating. Attention is also given to food costs and to the shopping, preparation, safety and storage of foods. This model supports program participants’ efforts toward self-sufficiency and nutritional health and well-being and improvements in organizational and community policies, systems and environments through its Cooperative Extension connections.  \nSince 1969, EFNEP has reached more than 35.5 million low-income families and youths. Consistently, more than half of EFNEP participants are people of color and/or Hispanic ethnicity-72% of adults and 68% of youths/children in FY 2023. In recent years, EFNEP has also experienced an increase in refugee and immigrant participation.  \nEFNEP contributes to food and nutrition security as program families and youths gain knowledge and skills for healthier food and physical activity choices, increased food resource management (e.g. shopping and food preparation), food safety, and improved food security practices to keep healthy in challenging times. Consistent with previous years, adult and youth participants in FY 2023 reported improved behaviors following program involvement. Indeed, more than 96% of adult EFNEP participants reported improvement in what they ate.  \nNational EFNEP priorities for FY 2023 included facilitating workforce development, increasing program reach and increasing appropriate use of technology in teaching. To reach these goals, USDA NIFA leadership hosted a successful two-year, six-session training series for all program coordinators nationwide. This timely series helped offset COVID-19 pandemic effects, such as program disruptions, staff burnout and changes in programmatic leadership. Program participation for both adults and youths continued to increase, although not to pre-pandemic levels. Universities increased their use of technology in program delivery, and several began applying a recently developed direct data app that allows participants to enter s","cbCaialnP0aoFxyf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaialnP0aoFxyf","pdf",3906848,"English","# 2023 Impacts\n## Program mission and alignment\n## Implementation model and reach\n## FY 2023 participation and outcomes\n## National priorities and training series\n## Program statistics and highlights\n## Saving money and improving diets","[{\"question\":\"What is EFNEP’s main goal in 2023?\",\"answer\":\"EFNEP aims to improve nutritional security through education that supports safer food handling, healthier diet and physical activity choices, and better food resource management and food safety practices.\"},{\"question\":\"How does EFNEP reach low-income families and youths?\",\"answer\":\"EFNEP is delivered by the Cooperative Extension System through Land-grant Universities across all U.S. states and territories and the District of Columbia, using peer educators and culturally relevant, learner-centered teaching.\"},{\"question\":\"What improvements did adult participants report after program involvement in FY 2023?\",\"answer\":\"More than 96% of adult EFNEP participants reported improved eating behaviors, reflecting strengthened diet-related practices following participation.\"}]","2023 Impacts - Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) - Improving Nutritional Security Through Education | PDF",1792056285]
