About

The Agricultural Advisory Committee was created by the Chesapeake Executive Council through a directive signed on December 10, 2024. The committee advises the Executive Council, Principals’ Staff Committee and Management Board on strategies and opportunities for agricultural operations to more effectively meet the Chesapeake Bay watershed’s restoration and conservation goals. Consisting of farmers, urban farmers, agribusiness representatives and technical professionals who help farmers fund and implement conservation practices, the AAC is a voice for producers and industry. The AAC focuses on high-level policy issues, ensuring its scope complements, but does not overlap, the technical work conducted by other groups within the Bay Program partnership.
