UC Cooperative Extension's collaborations grow with the centuries.

The authors reflect on the growth of University of California Cooperative Extension's partnerships with government institutions like the U.S. Department of Agriculture in bringing science-based solutions to the community in California since 1913. The authors state that these partnerships allow the state's agriculture to solve critical issues such as the pathogen that causes sudden oak death. An overview of the Cooperative's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is offered.
