James Hannay is the policy assistant at the NFU. He is currently based on the territories of the Anishinaabe and Mississauga, also known as “London”. James’ interest in agricultural issues and policy was kickstarted by a deep concern for a just food system during the COVID-19 pandemic, and strengthened by studying the politics and economics of climate change. He has particular interests in the effects of corporate concentration and financialization of agriculture, and completed his master’s thesis on the political economy of private-sector soil carbon sequestration programs in North America.
