Sponsored in part by the Portland Gateway and the Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions, the Maine Food Waste Solutions Summit is Maine’s annual food waste event that brings together our state’s key food system participants—farms, food businesses, feeding partners, community leadership, and government and nonprofit organizations. Working together, we can move to a circular food system where food is highly valued and never wasted. This new vision for Maine’s food system will equitably deliver economic, social, and environmental/climate benefits for all Maine people!
