Nathan Hunter
Director of Healthy Communities
Groundworks Hudson Valley
Nathan Hunter is director of healthy communities at Groundwork Hudson Valley, an urban farming organization dedicated to making neglected neighborhoods more livable and sustainable. Since losing its position as an industrial powerhouse in the 1960s, Yonkers, New York has been economically distressed, segregated by race and class, and deals with many environmental issues. Nathan works to empower the community by providing jobs, agricultural training and inclusion in a supportive community of food lovers and farmers. He was honored by New York State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins, who declared December 5 “Nathan Hunter Day.” Nathan holds a BS in marketing from Manhattan College.
