Horizon Report for Cooperative Extension
Welcome to the first Extension Horizon Report! The report focus on trends, issues, and developments over the next five years (the near “horizon”). A team of 50 Extension professionals dedicated time as a panel to review materials and create the findings of the report. It is our hope that the Report:
- Serves as a guide for policy, training, and funding decision making
- Creates awareness around key trends, issues, and developments
- Increases future thinking in the Cooperative Extension system
