On Nov. 2, Mainers will vote on Question 3, which would add an amendment to the state Constitution protecting the right to produce, harvest and consume food. The amendment will “create a state right to growing, raising, harvesting, and producing food, as long as an individual does not commit trespassing, theft, poaching, or abuses to private land, public land, or natural resources.” This includes “the right to save and exchange seeds” and “the right to grow, raise, harvest, produce and consume the food of their own choosing for their own nourishment, sustenance, bodily health and well-being.” The language of the bill has left many voters confused and speculating about what it would actually mean to have this amendment added to the Constitution. Whether you vote to approve the amendment to Maine’s Constitution boils down to whether your concerns about the future of access to food outweigh the potential unintended consequences of the amendment, according to Mark Brewer, a University of Maine political scientist. To help voters better understand Question 3, here are answers to common questions about what the amendment does and does not do. Don’t Mainers already have a right to food? Many Mainers are scratching their heads wondering if we did not already have the right to food.
