Family and Consumer Sciences

The Family and Consumer Sciences Program of the Cooperative Extension Service integrates the research from health, psychology, sociology, food science and human nutrition. The program is focused on food nutrition and health, food safety, housing, family development and financial management. Programs are designed to help residents meet the challenges of their daily life in their community and environment.
