A community initiative promoting regenerative living and public welfare through projects focused on hemp cultivation, seed sovereignty, medicinal mushroom cultivation, regenerative cotton, and silk blending, aiming to revitalize ecosystems and empower local farmers.

Earthist is a community-driven initiative that emerged in 2019, dedicated to regeneration and public welfare in harmony with nature. Central to our efforts are two key projects:
“For the Earth” focuses on ecological education, fostering environmental awareness and action.
“Decentralize Hemp” in collaboration with Kendir Agricultural Research, supports seed sovereignty by preserving heirloom seeds. This project creates a regenerative farm with hemp cultivation and a processing center to improve the hemp supply chain for small and family-run farms.

Mission:

After years of experiencing the escalating metacrisis, we recognize the need for a proactive shift. Our goal now is to revolutionize our relationship with the Earth by empowering communities and building resilient ecosystems with data and accessible investment.

We leverage DAO tooling for decision-making in our ecological projects. Through collaboration with Regen community, we are committed to creating regenerative economics utilizing innovative tools and technologies like Ecocredit Modules, Hypercerts, Impact Miner for our communities to drive a global shift towards regeneration.


Current Focus:

The development of our key project 'Decentralize Hemp' with rural headquarters and an urban hub is a significant step in our mission. The headquarters will include: Plantation areas for hemp and other plants; Research labs; Storage facilities; Offices; Chicken coops and beehives; Greenhouses; Housing for members and visitors

We have also established a hemp showroom and hub in Istanbul to showcase ecological products from our network, enhance community engagement, and strengthen the critical connection between urban and rural communities.

Our vision is driven by leveraging the eight forms of capital and fostering collaboration within the Earthist Network to enhance ecological health for a global transition starting from our bioregion.
