USDA . GOV | USDA IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER, EMPLOYER, AND LENDER  \nA MESSAGE FROM EFNEP  \nFor more than a half century, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)– “the People’s Department” – has funded nutrition education designed to improve safe food handling and preparation, as well asthe nutritional health and well-being of the population.  \nThe Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program  \n(EFNEP) was the nation’s first federal nutrition education program for families and youths with limited financial resources – especially those with young children – and remains at the forefront of providing nutrition education to improve the lives of participants.  \nFunded through the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), EFNEP has a critical role in employing peer educators (also known as paraprofessionals) and positively influencing nutrition and physical activity behaviors, reducing hunger and diet-related health disparities, and reducing food loss and waste through nutrition education. EFNEP is grounded in the latest version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and incorporates MyPlate into teaching activities. Since 1969, EFNEP has reached nearly 36 million low-income families and youths.  \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 2024 reported improved behaviors following program involvement. Indeed, more than 96 percent of adult EFNEP participants reported improvement in what they ate.  \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 contentand relationship-based, learner-centered, 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, and family and community dynamics of those participating. Attention is also given to food costs and to the shopping, preparation,  \nsafety 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.  \nEFNEP’s ability to remain a precedent-setting program depends on its ability to foresee and adapt to everchanging societal influences, food sources, health priorities and family dynamics along with advances in technologies and research. To meet this need, in 2024 NIFA prioritized ayearlong initiative of stakeholder engagement and internal program review to identify EFNEP program strengths and areas for innovation. Universities also received training for preparing their five-year plans and were notified of opportunities to leverage EFNEP funding with other health  \nrelated initiatives. Modernization of EFNEP’s Web-based Nutrition Education, Evaluation and Reporting System (WebNEERS) is also underway.  \nUniversities experienced increased program participation by adults and for youths and increased reach to youthsin grades 6-12 and young adults. They increased their use of technology in program delivery, and more began applying the recently developed direct data app that allows participants to enter some of their own data. Thirty-two universities leveraged EFNEP funding through an EXCITE EFNEP Integrating Immunization Education into Extension Health Programming initiative.  \nThis report reflects how EFNEP continues t","cbCaihpmRTrAH6zQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihpmRTrAH6zQ","pdf",1746256,"English","# A Message From EFNEP\n## Funding and program foundation\n## 2024 initiatives and modernization\n## Participation and reported outcomes\n## Impact summary: improving diets and saving money","[{\"question\":\"What is EFNEP and what does it aim to improve?\",\"answer\":\"EFNEP is a USDA-funded nutrition education program designed to improve safe food handling and preparation, nutritional health and well-being, and related behaviors that support food and nutrition security.\"},{\"question\":\"How does EFNEP deliver education to participants?\",\"answer\":\"EFNEP is conducted through the Cooperative Extension System via Land-grant Universities, using peer educators and content that is adapted to foods, learning styles, eating practices, and family and community dynamics.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes were reported in FY 2024?\",\"answer\":\"FY 2024 participants reported improved behaviors after program involvement, including that more than 96% of adult EFNEP participants reported improvement in what they ate.\"}]","2024 Impacts - Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) - Improving Nutritional Security Through Education | PDF",1792057024]
