Nutrition Education and Outreach Programs

The Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service Nutrition Education and Outreach Programs are part of the Extension Family and Community Health Program and the College of Health. These programs engage with communities across Oregon to provide nutrition education to youth, families, and adults in Oregon.

Through research-based strategies, these programs focus on healthy eating, food systems, and food security through community collaborations and engagement, particularly via the Food Hero social marketing initiative, to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.  Educational programming teaches families and individuals practical skills that promote healthy eating and physical activity.
