Working hand-in-hand with its Texas A&M System partners, the state
legislature, and the communities it serves, the mission of the Texas
AgriLife Extension Service to serve Texans through community-based education
has remained unchanged for almost a century.
With a vast network of 250 county Extension offices, 616 Extension agents,
and 343 subject-matter specialists, the expertise provided by AgriLife
Extension is available to every resident in every Texas county. But Extension
specialists are well-aware that a program offered in Dallas might not be
relevant in the Rio Grande Valley. AgriLife Extension custom-designs its
programs to different areas of the state, significantly depending on residents
for input and program delivery.
The mission of AgriLife Extension is a seemingly simple one: improving
the lives of people, businesses, and communities across Texas and beyond
through high-quality, relevant education. Carrying out this mission, however,
is a massive undertaking.one that requires the commitment of each and every
one of the agency's 1,900 employees. Through the programs these employees
provide, Texans are better prepared to:
- eat well, stay healthy, manage money, and raise their children
to be successful adults.
- efficiently help themselves through preventing problems and using
tools for economic stability and security.
- improve stewardship of the environment and of the state's natural
resources.
Today's AgriLife Extension is known for its leadership, dedication, expertise,
responsiveness, and trustworthiness. Texans turn to AgriLife Extension
for solutions, and its agents and specialists respond not only with answers,
but with a significant return on investment to boost the Texas economy.
