SUMMARY:Talk - Leading Together: Strengthening Policy Outcomes through Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:This talk is available via Zoom. Registration is required. Please complete the registration form to receive the Zoom connection information. \nSpeaker: Amanda Beal\, Commissioner\, Maine Department of Agriculture\, Conservation and Forestry \nThe Maine Department of Agriculture\, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) is a dynamic and complex agency overseeing many of our state’s most revered natural resources\, which are also central to many aspects of our economy. In addressing some of our greatest challenges over the past two years\, from climate change to a global pandemic\, investing in strong partnerships has been imperative to ensure effective responses. Commissioner Beal will talk about these strategic collaborations with the University and others and how they are positioning the work of DACF to best serve the people of Maine. \nAmanda Beal’s life-long interest in how we produce food began as a child growing up on her family’s commercial dairy farm in Maine\, as well as on the coast of Casco Bay\, where she has fond memories of digging for dinner in the clam flats alongside her grandfather\, and warming the bench of his smelt shanty in the winter. \nBefore joining DACF\, Amanda was the President & CEO of Maine Farmland Trust\, and prior to that\, MFT’s Policy & Research Director. She also worked previously in the public health field\, and for several years as an independent consultant on food systems-related projects for a number of fisheries\, agriculture\, and other food-focused organizations and businesses. \nShe has authored and co-authored numerous related papers and was a co-author of the publication: “A New England Food Vision: Healthy Food for All\, Sustainable Farming and Fishing\, Thriving Communities.” She holds an M.S. from Tufts University\, completing the Agriculture\, Food & Environment program at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy\, and is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of New Hampshire in the Natural Resources and Earth Systems Science program. \n
