Camire Comments in Agriculture, Conservation Hearing Reports

Comments from University of Maine professor of food science and human nutrition Mary Ellen Camire were included in news reports by the Bangor Daily News and Maine Public Broadcasting Network on the hearing held Friday at UMaine on the proposed merger of the Maine Department of Agriculture and the Maine Conservation Commission into a new Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. Camire said UMaine’s food science program staff would be willing to assist if the new agency, proposed by Gov. Paul LePage, found itself short on related specialists.
