Soil is where food begins, water gets filtered, carbon is stored, and so much more. However, like oil and gas, it's a finite resource. We’ll learn about the different types of soil in Maine and about its vital role in our lives and the health of the planet. Panelists: Ivan Fernandez, Climate Change Institute & School of Forest Resources, University of Maine; Sarah Simon, Maine Farmland Trust; Tom Gordon, Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry; Rep. Chellie Pingree, chair, House Subcommittee on Interior and the Environment; also sits on House Agriculture Committee.
