Purdue Extension agriculture and natural resources educators serve as an unbiased information source for communities in Indiana on topics like production agriculture, small farms and natural resource conservation. Their job is also to connect these topics in Indiana with countries across the world.
Ten Purdue Extension agriculture and natural resources (ANR) educators visited Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC), a public university in Costa Rica, to see how their faculty provides outreach to local communities. Unlike in Indiana, faculty at TEC have to submit an outreach proposal tied to research to get support and time allocated for the project.
