Contemporary Perspectives: Food Processing, Nutrition & Sustainable Systems

This Maine Nutrition Council educational session features a two-part series. Join us to explore the complexities of modern food systems, with a focus on the nutritional aspects of ultra-processed foods and regional strategies for building sustainable, resilient food networks.

Presented by Catherine Elizabeth Brown, CDM/CFPP
Compare the food systems of Maine, the San Francisco Bay Area, and New York’s Hudson Valley to understand regional efforts toward building sustainable and regenerative local food networks.
