University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska Extension Strategic Direction

This strategic direction, termed "The Big 3," outlines Nebraska Extension's ambitions to create a brighter future for the state by addressing critical issues. The three primary strategic pillars are: strengthening Nebraska's agriculture and food systems through sustainable practices and resource stewardship; inspiring Nebraskans and their communities to foster a robust, diverse, and productive population; and enhancing the holistic health and well-being of all Nebraskans. These efforts aim to amplify impact, build stronger families and communities, and contribute to the overall growth and prosperity of the state.
