Extension’s Hudacs pens op-ed on how agriculture can support Maine youth

Andrew Hudacs, an assistant Extension professor at University of Maine Cooperative Extension for 4-H teen leadership and workforce development, wrote an op-ed published in the Bangor Daily News titled, “Maine can harvest more benefits from youth in agriculture.” Hudacs wrote that “Agriculture-based self employment, such as raising animals, growing vegetables, and creating value-added food products for market, is an effective way for young adults to learn and practice career readiness skills while also supporting Maine’s local food network.”
