Let’s join efforts for Maine’s food future!
The Maine Food Convergence Project is bringing together a broad and diverse representation of Maine’s local food networks to:
- Build greater connectivity and resilience within every corner of Maine’s food system, especially those historically left out of the conversations;
- Convene Maine’s local food movements for deep, facilitated conversations;
- Create new opportunities for collaboration from the grassroots to grasstops, leading to a state-wide food system convergence and active follow-up organizing;
- Question our assumptions, identify common ground and move toward a shared vision of a food system that meets the needs of all Mainers while nurturing a healthy environment.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS.
Our collective success will rely upon collaboration and support from Maine’s diverse array of food systems organizations, businesses, farmers, fishermen, and individuals like you. We need your voice to inform these conversations. And please share with others in your networks.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR IDEAS IN THIS SURVEY BY JULY 24TH.
