The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) reaches roughly a half a million low-income adults and low-income families each year. Routinely, 80 percent or more EFNEP families report living at or below 100 percent of poverty and 70 percent indicate being of minority status.
Chronic disease and poor health disproportionately affect minority and low-income audiences. Annual data confirms graduates: improve their diets, improve their nutrition practices, stretch their food dollars farther, handle food more safely, and increase their physical activity levels.
National data collection and reporting has evolved. The following webpages include annual national impact reports and detailed National Data Reports. EFNEP data by university is available through USDA's Research, Education and Economics Information System (REEIS). Data collected prior to 1999 is not available electronically.
