The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is authorized by §12.0027 of the Texas Agriculture Code to administer the 3E's Grant Program to promote better health and nutrition programs and prevent obesity among children in this state.

2. Expanding the 3E's Grant Program (Expand3E) - a program that rewards the expansion of existing nutrition education programs in public schools only.
