Next Teen Science Cafe event.
It will be held at Dexter Regional High School on Thursday, Feb 26th from 6 to 8pm. There will be food, fun and hands on activities. We are doing something NEW this time...we are having a panel of local experts who will all address the idea of Sustainable Agriculture and what it means to them in the work that they currently do.
The panel is composed of 6 - 7 individuals who will be split into 4 break out sessions to talk in more detail about the work that they do and how it relates to sustainable agriculture. The topics include: GMO's and plant breeding, small scale high diversity sustainable farming, Dairy farming and biomass digester (energy and engineering tie-in), and adaptive management/ecosystem services. All speakers are local farmers already or are studying agriculture at the University of Maine Orono.
