Fumbling Toward Prosperity: Family, Community and the Maine Food Economy
Through storytelling, poetry, excerpts from legislative testimony and remarks on the floor of the House of Representatives, Hickman's keynote speech will outline his family's tradition of food self-sufficiency and feeding community; how the death of his father, a Tuskegee Airman and urban backyard farmer, inspired him to become an organic farmer in Maine; how farming in Maine, coupled with his intense community involvement in the Winthrop Lakes Region, inspired him to run for the Legislature on a platform of ending hunger, increasing access to healthy food for our most vulnerable and revitalizing rural communities; and how he ended up twice chairing the Joint Standing Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, where he has championed food sovereignty, food self-sufficiency, rural economic development, investments in food processing infrastructure in targeted areas of the state, a constitutional right to food for the people of the state, and other public policies that put resilient communities and small, sustainable family farmers and food producers at the center of solving some big problems and creating a robust Maine food economy now and into the future.

Decades of Deceit – A Critical Eye on Pesticides, Science and Industry
Carey Gillam is a veteran investigative journalist with more than 30 years of experience covering corporate and political news, including 17 years as a senior correspondent for Reuters international news service. Since 1998 she has specialized in researching and reporting on the risks and rewards of our agricultural system. In 2018 Gillam’s book “Whitewash – The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer and the Corruption of Science” won both the Rachel Carson Book Award from the Society of Environmental Journalists and a gold medal for Outstanding Book of the Year from the Independent Book Publishers. Whitewash details how corporate control of agriculture and public policy has led to a pesticide-dependent food system that endangers our health and planet. Gillam spends a good deal of time pursuing Freedom of Information requests from U.S. regulators and has successfully sued the EPA to access thousands of documents that inform her work. Corporate powers have attempted to silence and discredit Gillam, but the evidence she has uncovered is so powerful that she was asked to testify as an expert witness before the European Parliament about her findings. She has been quoted as an expert on issues of GMO agriculture and agrochemical impacts by several news outlets, including The New York Times, CBS and Fox Business News. Gillam now works as research director for the nonprofit investigative research group U.S. Right to Know.

MOFGA Public Policy Teach-In Pesticides: In the News and All Around Us Who decides which pesticides can be approved for use – are these “forever” decisions?
Join us to learn how pesticides are evaluated by state and federal authorities. Pesticides are available for sale in hardware, grocery and farm stores as well as greenhouses. All are toxic to varying degrees. Many farmers use pesticides. By law, organic farmers cannot use most synthetic pesticides, so they continuously adjust farming practices to manage rising disease and insect problems. Meanwhile, homeowners are at the short end of the process – not knowing how to determine what is least toxic, what alternative controls might be used, why a pesticide is on the market and what they can do to be involved.
