Hannah Lopez, LSSAC Admin & Project Manager

Hannah is a South Louisianan born and raised. She graduated from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science in Linguistics and Spanish Literature. Hannah grew up learning agricultural practices from her grandparents, who were peanut farmers in the 60s and 70s.

Hannah has spent her career working towards building a stronger and healthier Louisiana. Through immigration advocacy and legal aid with the Southern Poverty Law Center, and project management in federal class action lawsuits, she has learned that the closer you are to your food and your community the better off we all are. Hannah’s work is driven by the belief that we are always stronger together and small wins can build toward a brighter collective future.

Hannah’s expertise includes creating systems of collaboration in intersectional advocacy spaces. In her role with Sprout, Hannah serves as the Project Manager for the Louisiana Small Scale Agriculture Coalition (LSSAC) - a coalition of organizations statewide that seek to cultivate a more robust and sustainable food system. She is excited to continue the mission of LSSAC and Sprout for a stronger local food system.

When she’s not organizing and logisticizing, Hannah can be found in her home garden, reading a book, cooking with her chosen family, caring for her tuxedo cats, or color-coding a spreadsheet.
