New England Feeding New England

The Partnership works in collaboration with Food Solutions New England – a regional, multi-racial, six-state network that unites the food system community around a shared set of values – democratic empowerment, racial equity and dignity for all, sustainability, and trust – and strengthens the movement’s ability to achieve the New England Food Vision of 50% x 2060.

Local Food Counts

A regional food count for New England has been released! According to the report, New Englanders spend $2.28 billion on food, beverage, and alcohol that is grown, made, and produced within the region. While there is certainly room for growth, this commitment from New Englanders to New Englanders drives sales, keeps dollars close at home and supports jobs for the community.

Climate Science Portal

Exploring our climate reality in Maine through two-eyed seeing.

The science is clear. Excess CO2 in our atmosphere is causing earth’s climate to change in extreme, unpredictable and devastatingly impactful ways. Our purpose in creating the Maine Climate Science Portal is to provide a living, growing network where we can all share in what the scientists and other knowledge-bearers are telling us about the current and possible future impacts of climate change in Maine.
