Just about everything you want to know about Local Food and Community Self Governance Ordinances and the Maine Food Sovereignty law

7/26/2017

32 Comments

 
If you have an hour to listen to an excellent news program, check out this edition of Maine Calling, a current affairs show focusing on Maine issues produced by Maine Public Radio. 

Maine has a new law--LD725--that allows towns to regulate local food production as they wish, without requiring state and federal rules. While the focus on the show was on what the new law means for Maine farmers and food-buyers, the conversation also touched on national and international food freedom and food sovereignty movements. 

Guests include local food ordinance organizer and farmer Heather Retberg, as well as Rep. Craig Hickman, a state representative who also helps run a local bed and breakfast, and Richard King, a goat farmer who helped pass a local food ordinance in his town of Liberty.

Jessie Dowling, of the Maine Cheese Guild, calls in with some criticisms of the new law, and good information about the supports that the Maine Department of Agriculture offers to small farmers and food producers, especially cheesemakers. Even though she's not a fan of LD725, her comments underscore that as far as local food infrastructure goes, Maine has a lot to build on. 

The show is a very comprehensive look at what these ordinances do and don't do, the issues of liability, and the importance that people place on good healthy food.

Most people don't have the idea that there are sites, that you can download HD TV series for free without been charged for it. This is because they don't pay attention to it. However, there are sites that<a href="https://www.techfiver.com/fzmovies/"> you can download any TV series of your choice for free. </a>Since the latest pandemic of not going out and staying indoors. All you have to do is get a good data connection. Well, one of these platforms you can download free TV series from https://www.techfiver.com/fzmovies/
