This meeting emphasized an expanded concept or definition for Cooperative Extension, including cooperation across animal commodities, and addressing cultural issues. This second combined extension workshop recognized the fact that environmental, animal welfare, biosecurity, food safety, societal, and other concerns are not restricted to individual commodities. Effectively addressing these complex issues requires that agriculture present a united front and find ways to cooperate for the common good of everyone in agriculture and society.

Key Words: animal welfare • environment • extension • international opportunities • societal concerns
