EFNEP provides practical, hands-on nutrition education that changes behavior. EFNEP remains as relevant and essential today, as it was in the 1960s when the program began.  \ni. BackgroUnD  \nEFNEP arose out of societal concern that millions of Americans were living in poverty; poor, underserved, and disenfranchised groups residing in rural and urban areas were going hungry; and existing efforts that focused on distributing excess agricultural commodities were insufficient in addressing these concerns (Brink, 2000) .
