Mission
The Nutrition Education Program (NEP) provides individuals, families and communities with the knowledge and skills that empower them to make informed choices about healthy diets, efficiently manage food resources, and reduce the risks of chronic diseases and foodborne illness. The education provided draws upon nutrition recommendations presented in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA's MyPyramid. Extension educators target consumers and families, municipal employees, food handlers, low-income and high-risk individuals, the elderly and agencies that serve these populations.

Food Safety for Consumers at Home

Cape Cod Cooperative Extension provides information and education to raise awareness of food safety concerns among the Barnstable County community. Topics such as proper food handling, cooking temperatures, food storage safety and food preservation are some of the topics addressed using information supported by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service and UMass Extension.
