Climate and Food Systems Work Group
The food system plays a major role in our climate. There is an expressed need to organize so that climate becomes inextricably woven into the fabric of our food system policies, investments, and on-the-ground actions.
The first step towards this shift is to build relationships among those who are taking action in food & climate efforts. As we build these relationships, we will explore where we can leverage the most change and prepare to take collective action.

Convergence Work Groups
Workgroups are cross-sector collaborative projects that advance priorities identified by the Convergence network and which have energy to move them forward. They are organized to leverage resources and work proactively on complex issues impacting food access, climate change mitigation and shifting power in Maine’s food system to center BIPoC, youth, and others with lived experience of our system’s inequities.
