Welcome.
PUBLICATIONS
This yearbook is a publication of the New Technologies for Ag Extension (NTAE) program. It showcases the groundbreaking work of Extension professionals across the nation who received funding for their projects from NTAE, a grant program from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA), in partnership with the University of New Hampshire. From technology-driven solutions to community-focused initiatives, these projects are transforming the way Extension serves its constituents. You’ll read about some long-time NTAE grant recipients, such as the team creating an educational cartoon about pollinators—and some new-to-NTAE teams, such as the one developing a curriculum to support kinship caregivers. All of our Extension colleagues represented in these pages are experts in their fields and passionate about what they do. Join us in celebrating their dedication and innovation as you read inspiring stories, learn from valuable lessons, and explore the future of Extension through the breadth and impact of NTAE-funded projects. We sincerely thank the dedicated teams whose work made this yearbook possible and USDA NIFA for its continued support of Extension’s innovative work. Discover the power of innovation in the 2023–2024 NTAE Yearbook.
