Extension/Outreach in DARE
DARE's extension and outreach programs include agriculture, environmental, and development issues.
Overview
Since 1914, when Congress authorized Cooperative Extension (CE) in each state, CSU-CE has provided the primary link between the university and the citizens of the state of Colorado. With representation in each of Colorado's 64 counties, Cooperative Extension makes unbiased research, information and the expertise of CSU faculty available to Coloradoans, particularly in rural and agricultural regions. The state is our campus. The Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics is active in extension and outreach educational and applied research efforts throughout the state. We are committed to providing practical solutions to real problems. About one half of our faculty have time committed to CE and all faculty have outreach responsibility. DARE also encourages opportunities for extension-oriented graduate projects. Examples of DARE Outreach and Extension program emphases include: farm management, enterprise, livestock and agricultural budgeting, risk management, economic diversification, value-added agriculture, agricultural and natural resource policy, agricultural marketing, finance, and cooperatives, rural community development, public lands management, land-use planning tools, and strategic planning.
