MAINE
STATEWIDE – Farmers
and businesses involved in greenhouse and year-round growing in Maine are invited to share their input on
business and industry needs through a survey being administered this summer by the Maine
Sustainable Agriculture Society (MESAS).
Information from the survey will be used to guide the
future work and development of the Sustainable Year-Round Agriculture Cluster, an
initiative funded through the Maine Technology Institute and launched in 2014 with the intent of
connecting technology, engineering, research and development resources to support and expand year-round
agriculture production in Maine.
The survey will be open for responses through midnight
on July 20th. An online version of the survey is available at www.mesas.org.
MESAS is a farmer-led organization providing
information and resources to help Maine farms achieve “triple bottom line results”, regardless of the
scale they operate at, or the production methods they use. MESAS supports profitable farms,
healthy ecosystems and strong communities by coordinating research into emerging
trends and technologies, serving as a hub for decision making information, and conducting pilot
projects and demonstrations that provide practical experience in a peer-to-peer learning
environment.
