Initiated in 2019, Earthist Network is a community-focused initiative dedicated to preserving heirloom seeds and promoting regenerative practices within the bioregion.

Our core team has primarily focused on cultivating hemp, known for its environmental benefits and diverse product potential, while supporting other farmers in the network. One of the key focuses of our project is to create a knowledge base for hemp and regeneration-related information to share with the community. https://earthist.gitbook.io/earthist/ecosystem/earthist-network/decentralize-hemp-seeds/hemp-kendir

Another key focus currently is the establishment of a pilot micro-processing centers for small and family-run hemp farms. The centers aim to alleviate a critical bottleneck in the industry by enhancing the value of farmers' raw materials. This step is crucial for strengthening regional economies and advancing our mission of seed preservation and promoting regenerative practices.
