1. Food For Maine's Future Conference Participant Survey 2010

We are happy to announce this year's 5th Annual Local & Sustainable Food Conference: Building Urban & Rural Alliances, co-sponsored by Food for Maine's Future (FFMF) and Lots to Gardens (LTG). One of the desired outcomes of this year's conference is to establish Action Groups that will continue to collaborate following the conference based on shared interests and mutual goals. To help us form these groups, conference participants will have the chance to discuss and organize around four key questions, with space provided at the beginning of the conference for other key questions or issues to be established. We would like your feedback in helping to select topic ideas for the conference questions as well as your thoughts on possible skill share workshops. Please take the time to fill out this simple survey below. Your contribution will help us organize a great conference. Thank you!
