The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, provided by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service, is set to broaden its availability across additional counties in Arkansas. This initiative aims to empower families with limited resources by equipping them with essential knowledge and skills to make healthier dietary and exercise choices.

The program focuses on teaching participants about nutrition, meal planning, budgeting, and physical activity. By fostering an understanding of healthy eating habits, the initiative seeks to improve overall wellness and combat issues related to poor nutrition and obesity in underserved communities.

As the program rolls out to more counties, local families will have increased access to valuable resources and support, enhancing their ability to lead healthier lives. This expansion reflects a commitment to addressing food insecurity and promoting health equity throughout the state. The program represents a significant step toward building a healthier future for Arkansas residents.
