Hunter Buffington Connecting The World To Hemp

Hunter Buffington is an industrial hemp policy and supply chain expert who initiated her career in sustainable development before focusing on the emerging hemp industry. Hunter’s experience in the application of open systems to create sustainable development and climate action plans gives her a unique understanding of food systems, agriculture and emerging industries. Now Hunter utilizes her experience working with regulators, policy makers, businesses, farmers and agriculture producers to implement strategies to develop the hemp industry both domestically and globally creating partnerships with agriculture and industry to drive profit through stewardship and innovation. She’s also just launched an all-female AG business – Agriculture Policy Solutions, with partners Jessica Scott and Tillery Sims.

Hunter speaks with Joyce about her unique personal story that joins her Wyoming roots with her Native American heritage, how she used cannabis to remain a rodeo queen, and why Dick Cheney was so angry with her father!
