Hemp is beneficial for the soil, air, water and all life, including human beings. This fast growing renewable crop needs no agricultural chemicals or pesticides. In fact, hemp detoxifies soil. Because of the deep roots of the hemp plant, hemp fields act as carbon sinks, sequestering harmful emissions driving climate change. At the same time, hemp increases the ability of soil to absorb atmospheric carbon. Hemp crops also tolerate drought and extreme weather, helping to build climate resilience. As a super food, hemp is good for people. Hemp foods nourish our bodies with protein and good Omega fats. The Cannibidiols (CBDs) in hemp can help fight illness, from tumors to epilepsy. Restoring hemp fits with Indigenous values and offers us a way to carry these values into a 21st century economy
