Human health is strongly tied to the environment in which people live. To support Nebraskans health and wellbeing, we must both protect a biodiverse environment that provides for healthy, abundant foods, a strong local economy, and sustainable natural resources, while also managing public health and horticultural crop concerns and threats.
At the same time, managing health threats, such as public health diseases and insect damage to homes plays a vital role in human health and wellbeing. Integrated approaches to managing urban and public health pests, such as bed bugs, ticks, cockroaches, termites, and head lice help maintain the health of humans, animals, and homes.
Through Extension experts and resources, Nebraskans have what they need to make well-informed decisions. Nebraska Extension is an integral partner in helping Nebraska live up to its well-earned reputation as “The Good Life.”
