NEED works across the region’s 16 Land-grant Universities to show the value and impact of Extension programs to individuals, families, businesses, and communities.
Developing Resilient, Sustainable, and Equitable Food Systems
The Northeast Region’s 12 states and the District of Columbia are working individually and collaboratively to develop resilient, sustainable and equitable food systems on the local, state, and
regional levels.
Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance
Cultivemos, the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN) in the Northeast Region, uses a cohort model of network-building. Small cohorts of members work together to share and create new resources in their areas of interest and expertise. Cohorts include Farm Worker, Mental Health, Veterans, Legal, PFAS, Farm Communication and Cooperative Extension.
