Author: T. Adam Probst

Planning Unit: Woodford County CES

Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy

Plan of Work: Improving Nutrition and Healthy Lifestyles

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

In 2022, the Woodford Co. Extension Service collaborated with several local partners on the Annual Farm Tour.  Over 250 participants learned about production agriculture, genetically modified crops, local foods and farmers markets, and local watershed studies.  Several months after the event, a participant stated that the information they learned about genetically modified crops and local foods at the farm tour event led them to make more informed decisions about their food purchases.  This in turn has led them to lead a healthier lifestyle and improved their nutrition.
