UVM Extension plans for the future

We challenge our faculty, staff and regional stakeholders to keep improving what defines our value, our importance, and our significance. In our 2018 Strategic Plan, UVM Extension organizes its work around four Result Areas over the next seven to ten years:

• Result Area 1: Improve the financial, environmental and social sustainability of Vermont’s agriculture, food and forest sectors.
• Result Area 2: Increase the resilience of families and individuals around health, education and personal and family well-being.
• Result Area 3: Engage with communities to support leadership development, capacity building and diverse voices in decision making.
• Result Area 4: Integrate business and conservation to improve the quality of the natural environment where Vermonters live, work and play.
