What’s been happening inside and around Maine farms has been a quiet, yet profound transformation. Supported by strategic investments from the U.S.D.A. made possible by the historic Inflation Reduction Act, agricultural producers and small businesses are embracing renewable energy systems and efficiency improvements. This shift will not only allow them to be economically viable today, but sustainable for the years to come. Maine Conservation Voters has championed the need for these exact investments. Embedding climate-smart agricultural practices increases the resiliency of our farmers, communities, food supply and economy. ~ Kathleen Meil, Maine Conservation Voters
