About The Event

Protecting and stewarding farmland is critical for ensuring that Maine has the land base to grow our agricultural economy and support a robust local and regional food system. With solar development expanding across the state, strategies that balance support for solar energy production with the need to protect farmland are becoming increasingly important.  Thacher Carter, Municipal Policy Associate with Maine Farmland Trust (MFT), will present and lead discussion about why balanced solar siting matters and what strategies local advocates and municipal officials can explore to minimize the impacts of solar development on agricultural resources.
