Food for Maine's Future seeks to build a just, secure, and democratic food system which protects
Maine farmers and the environment from corporate control. We empower farmers and local communities
to define their local food systems, and promote sustainable local alternatives in schools and in the fields.

Local Solutions

Town meetings are one of the last truly democratic institutions in the state. Concerned citizens from a community gather to discuss, debate, or take action on the issues of the day.    The Local Solutions Campaign is designed to stimulate debate, dialogue, and action at the local level  by empowering community members to hold forums, pass resolutions or ordinances, and host education events with a goal of defining their own food system and using their collective voice to impact food policy at the local, state, and national levels.  

  • Assist communities in democratically defining their own food system
  • Host video showings and other educational events
  • Advise communities on developing, passing, and implementing resolutions and ordinances designed to mitigate threats to local farmers
