The panel is part of a four-part series called Maine Food Future, whose mission is to develop an "action plan for economic growth, workforce development, future readiness and enhanced equity in Maine’s food industry," FocusMaine said.
"The series will convene a diverse group of engaged stakeholders in Maine’s food economy. Participants will review and discuss existing data, question assumptions, uncover gaps and barriers, and identify opportunities to strengthen Maine’s food economy. Together, we will develop a coordinated action plan to move Maine’s food economy forward."
