Maine House Backs Bipartisan Right To Food Bill That May Go Before Voters

Maryam Jernigan-Noesi and her son Carter pick vegetables from their garden. The Maine House of Representatives has given initial approval to a bill that would enshrine a right to food in the state constitution. The constitutional amendment broadly states that residents have an inherent right to grow, raise, harvest and consume food of their own choosing. An outgrowth of the food sovereignty bill that passed in 2017, the proposal is also part of a movement aiming to secure individual food harvesting and sustenance rights says Biddeford Democratic Rep. Margaret O Neil. Food is foundational to life and food freedom is really the freedom to grow, prepare and consume food, she said.
