The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC), Washington, D.C., announced that Connor Kippe has been named its new policy specialist.
Kippe grew up working in Michigan in agriculture and the food system - from picking weeds in fields, to driving the occasional tractor, working as a butcher, managing green roof installations, co-creating an educational farm, and helping advocate for and design a university food bank. He has spent time in North Carolina leading advocacy around food and energy systems' impact on climate along with working with and centering harmed communities like farmworkers and residents living near CAFOs to develop equitable coalitions, campaigns, and policy.
He has a B.A. from the University of Michigan in political science and environmental science, with a specialization in food policy.
Kippe staffs the NSAC Food System Integrity Committee, which focuses on key food safety, labeling, and livestock processing issues.
