HACCP plan
Hi everybody! Please, help me to understand what "local Extension Office" means. I request you for a synonym or another word which may give me a better understanding. I'll be thankful for your support.
CONTEXT:
In a small establishment, this might mean bringing together one or two employees, one of whom has had HACCP training.
Your HACCP resources may include outside expertise. You can get this expertise through your local Extension Office, a trade or professional association, or a contractor of your choice. This will help to bring enough cross functional expertise to this step to adequately analyze all biological physical and chemical hazards.

Agricultual Extension Office
The agricultural extension offices in the United States:
"In the United States, the colleges and their leading professors, including several notable proponents of more practical extension work, progressively took over the initiation and organization of the activity. This culminated in 1914 with the passage of the Smith-Lever Act, establishing the Cooperative Extension Service - a tripartite cooperation of federal, state, and local county governments, with the state college as the extension agency - 'in order to aid in diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical information on subjects relating to agriculture and home economics, and to encourage the application of the same.' "

The central agency is the United States for this is the Department of Agriculture. The "extension" is the extension of education and training into rural agricultural areas. In the U.S. this has been very much connected to the agricultural colleges established at the initiative of the national government under Lincoln.

ALSO FROM THE SAME ARTICLE:
However, two other developments after 1850 were of more significance to the evolution of agricultural extension in the United States. First was the Morrill Act of 1862, signed by President Lincoln during the Civil War, which was seminal in the creation of state colleges "of agriculture and the mechanic arts" in the northern United States

Extension is being used in the send of extend knowlege. Extension Office is a proper noun -- an official title. They do offier agricultural, home gardening, home economics, food safety, child safety and other such advice. In the Untied States, these offices are frequently run by a local government agency but also officially work with a state agency and the USDA (US Department of Agriculture.)
This is what is meant by:
"establishing the Cooperative Extension Service - a tripartite cooperation of federal, state, and local county governments, with the state college as the extension agency."
The Extension Office is a part of the Cooperative Extension Service.
I hope that helps.

ONE CORRECTION:
The "extension" is the extension of education and training from "land-grant colleges" into local communities. These "land-grant" colleges were established by the national government under Lincoln and gave federal land to state governments for the purpose of establish public colleges in each state of the United States.

local agricultural assistance office
The local office 'extends' i.e. provides assistance and expertise in various farming activities. Such offices are found in many countries. However HACCP is the acronym for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point, an American system that deals with food safety.
