 University of Maine Cooperative Extension nutrition education staff provide programming to individuals, families, and communities to help them make informed choices about food, to promote healthy lifestyles, and to support economic and social well being. Using research-based information and resources, faculty and staff help Mainers make behavior changes by: making environmental and policy changes to encourage healthy diets; promoting eating well at all life stages; managing issues of the elderly; and addressing problems of hunger and food security.

Workshops, programs and community interventions are available to Maine-based groups on a variety of topics. Educational materials, catalog listings of federally supported materials (including information on school-age nutrition, dietary recommendations and food labeling) as well as an extensive audio visual library are also available. For more information, contact the state office.
