The North Central Food Safety Extension Network (NCFSEN) began with representatives from several states in the North Central Region in 2016 during a meeting convened by Extension program leaders held in Chicago, IL. Since that time, the network has grown to include representatives from all 12 states in the region.

Their website provides resource links to the affiliated states, an impact statement, a link to the regional food preservation e-newsletter subscription, outreach materials and journal articles published by the group. Here is their website https://www.ncrfsma.org/north-central-food-safety-extension-network-ncfsen, or you can scan the QR code to sign up for their newsletter.
