Benson Institute

The Ezra Taft Benson Agriculture and Food Institute and Corporation, which began at BYU in 1975, has now merged into the Church's Welfare Services Department. The Institute's Web site includes lessons on basic family health, family nutrition and family sanitation, particularly directed at conditions in the developing world, but also relevant to conditions of poverty in the U.S. The Web site also includes interesting resources on raising food for families.
