Office of Urban Extension and Engagement

The Office of Urban Extension and Engagement raises the visibility of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) and Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) expertise and resources available to address issues affecting urban residents and their communities. We coordinate and facilitate programming to address food security, individual and community health, resource stewardship, urban agriculture and food systems, environmental planning and design, and other concerns facing our state's urban communities.

Check your County Extension Office website for more programs available to you and to find your local Extension agents. Feel free to contact us if you have questions.
