About this Event
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.
Understanding the History and Implications of Ultra-Processed Foods
Presented by Mary Ellen Camire, Ph.D., CFS
This session will help participants identify ultra-processed foods as highly formulated products and understand that being classified as ultra-processed does not necessarily mean a food lacks nutritional value.
East Coast & West Coast: A Brief Look at Food Systems
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.
