Harry Huntley
Agriculture Policy Lead
Harry previously worked for the Hughes Center for Agro-Ecology and the Chesapeake Conservation Partnership, focusing on advancing policy to increase the use of land conservation and agricultural BMPs, including nutrient pollution trading. He graduated from college with many diverse experiences related to agriculture and environmental policy. His passion for the outdoors began working on three different organic farms, but he felt the necessary changes must be made systemically. So, to gain policy experience he interned with the National Association for State Departments of Agriculture and Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Throughout college, Harry managed field work for a research study focused on the effects of cover crop planting time on nitrogen leaching. He also worked directly on policy advocacy with the National Farmers Union. Harry has volunteered on political campaigns from presidential- to city council-level focusing mostly on communications.
