When it comes to farming, there are three main types: traditional, organic, and regenerative. Each style of farming has its own unique set of go-to crop additives.

Mark Twain once famously said: “Buy land, they're not making it anymore.”

Though joking, he’s got a point. There is a limited supply of land useful for farming on this planet, and, in the U.S. especially, it’s shrinking by the year. The American Farmland Trust released an alarming report entitled “Farms Under Threat: The State of America’s Farmland” which revealed that in the two-decade period between 1992 and 2012, 31 million acres of farmland disappeared from ecosystems across the country.

Abundant, nutrient-rich soil is vital for humanity and the planet — and we’re losing too much of it.

The terms ‘dirt’ and ‘soil’ are often used interchangeably, but they actually describe quite different things.

The terms “Hemp,” “CBD,” and “Cannabis” are often used interchangeably, and many people don’t realize that there is a difference. All are plants and plant derivatives that can be used for various purposes, but let’s take a deeper look at each one to get a better understanding of these plants and how they’re used.

Low-cost, carbon-neutral, and packed with all the compounds needed to make highly efficient fuels: Hemp is challenging corn and sugarcane to be the fuel crop of the future. Growing awareness of the dangers of climate change and energy insecurity have prompted public and private organizations to search for smarter, safer, more renewable, and more environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional fossil fuels…

Wouldn’t it be handy if everyone had a virtual representation of themself that lived in the cloud? There would be less of a need to go to the doctor because healthcare providers could just examine our vital signs online. Buying clothing would be a lot easier too…

Regulators are asking more and more companies to start paying up for the damage done by their carbon pollution. It’s a positive step forward, but it won’t solve our current ecological crisis alone…

Plastic pollution is now pervasive on the lands and seas of this planet. Even in the most remote and uninhabited regions of Antarctica, microplastics, small particles of broken down plastic, can be found contaminating our soil, ice, and water. 

This hard-to-remove and incredibly long-lasting material is even likely in our own bodies. A study published in Environment International revealed that 77 percent of the individuals they tested had microplastics in their blood…

Social media platforms are a great place to learn about hemp. While we enjoy educating our followers, we also love to see new faces and companies out there sharing interesting information about hemp. Here are some of our recent favorites…

We have a problem. There is simply too much carbon on this planet where it shouldn’t be. And it's a big problem because carbon is pretty much everywhere. It’s a fundamental building block of life and the fifteenth most abundant element on Earth. Every living thing needs carbon to survive and many non-living things like gasses, minerals, and liquids contain it as well…

Digital transformation, the process of updating existing business processes with modern, data-powered technologies, has hit full swing. Spurred by the decreasing cost and increasing effectiveness of digitalization, and of course, by the pandemic which limited many in-person functions for an extended period, most businesses today have made significant progress in their digital transformation.

Chia seeds were all the craze in health food circles a few years back, and with good reason: they are loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other essential nutrients.

Chia was described as a bonafide superfood, an informal moniker for foods that are exceptionally nutrient-dense, meaning the same weight and volume of those foods have significantly more energy and micro and macronutrients — and other healthful and necessary (but indigestible) components like soluble and insoluble fiber — than most other foods.

Fast Fashion is everywhere - on your Instagram feed, in your email, and on your favorite blogs, there is no escaping it. We are a culture of consumers, and boy do we love to consume fashion. You can find clothes at prices so low that you could literally replace your wardrobe each season if you wanted to...but you shouldn’t want to!

Hemp is one of the most useful and versatile plants on earth! Hemp is a super-plant. It's been used as fabric, building material, food source, and medicine for thousands of years - and now it's legal to grow in the United States once again. Hemp was a widespread crop in the U.S.until its prohibition in 1937, thanks to the Marihuana Tax Act. Our understanding of the hemp plant has been lost over time -  now it is time to reclaim hemp and its many uses. 

Did you know you can make a plane stronger than steal with hemp? That’s just what the Hempearth group has done, “from the plane walls and seats to the wings and pillows. Hempearth, a Canadian cannabis company accelerates with hemp-related inventions. Established in 2012, the company sells a variety of organic-hemp products. To date, its inventory includes hemp surfboards, paddleboards, oils, cannabis, and even a hemp fiber body phone.”

Companies developing new solutions across an incredibly diverse range of industries are all taking a closer look at the science of hemp seeds and fibers like never before. Everything from concrete-reinforcement, skincare, soda, pizza sticks, vegan gelato, and even prosthetics are utilizing hemp seeds and fibers.

When the 2018 farm bill passed Congress and legalized hemp production in the United States, farmers, consumers, health advocates, and environmentalists cheered. After decades of being needlessly characterized as a harmful drug with no acceptable commercial use, hemp and hemp-derived products would finally get the support they deserved from regulators…

You may have heard that hemp is one of the most useful plants on the planet and has been used in a wide variety of applications for thousands of years. Growing easily and quickly in just about any climate, hemp strengthens the ground while removing huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Hemp is one of the earliest cultivated plants, with evidence of its farming found as far back as the stone age, and it can be studied throughout history, including the Assyrians, Scythians, and the Kingdom of Judah.

The North American Industrial Hemp Council estimates that hemp can be used to make at least 25,000 products. The multi-purpose nature of hemp isn’t new information, hemp is one of the earliest cultivated plants and humans have been using it since the stone age! Hemp can be grown anywhere on the planet except for Antarctica (sorry Antarctica!). It is mold resistant, heat resistant, and pest resistant.
