Food, Nutrition and Health Program
The Food, Nutrition and Health Program is designed to educate Miami-Dade County Citizens and provide them with the skills needed to change lifestyle behaviors to reduce their risk of major chronic diseases and conditions, and adopt dietary practices recommended for different life cycle stages.

Expanded Food & Nutrition Program
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Program, EFNEP, is a Cooperative Extension Service educational program funded by USDA to help limited-income families and youth acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and changed behavior necessary to improve their diets in normal nutrition.

The EFNEP program operates in twelve Florida counties, with Miami-Dade County having the largest program. It has three distinct units, 2 adults and one youth.

Research has shown that for every $ invested in EFNEP, up to $10 is saved in health care cost. The benefits of EFENEP were characterized as dollars estimated to be saved on health care costs by the potential delay/avoidance of chronic disease and conditions as a result of EFNEP participants adopting optimal food, nutrition and lifestyle behaviors.
