There is always opportunity to do better and yes, hemp can also help upgrade our financial systems, but why hold on to a debt-based (di)vision when hemp can create overall health and abundance?
Why can’t hemp be an indicator for financial stability, ecological balance and nurturing environments? A transition from polluting industries to clean, human and environment friendly operations also creates jobs, jobs and more jobs.
Some examples to incorporate education, inclusivity, social responsibility, technology and overall improvement:
* Health of the land: start monitoring the composition of the land itself with the tool hemp. Hemp is known for it’s phyto sanitizing properties which help actively in cleaning up environmental pollution in the soil, water and air.
Hemp can be used as a rotational crop, restoring the environment as it grows. Hemp can be used as a barrier against water and wind-erosion and heightens the biodiversity in surrounding areas by creating cover. By measuring the composition of the soil, the growth cycle of the plant, and the visual extremities the basis is there to create ecological balanced mapping. Hemp can help us see where the land might become depleted or has an excessive concentration build up.
* Health of the communities: in making communities self-sustainable, hemp is the go-to crops. Not only has hemp a beneficial impact on the social responsibilities, the overall health of the individuals or the creative boost of opportunities, hemp can give hope, perspective and sustainable improvement. We are talking here about a number of movements: the cooperative (circular) businesses that create a more specialized, on demand quality goods and services production cycle, the industries that take the front seat in developing safe machinery, but also the humanistic and progressive voices that are handed a powerful tool for healing, professional development and self expression. Hemp is an educational group project and there is something to learn for everyone.
* Health of the environment: as mentioned higher, hemp sanitizes the environment while it grows: it captures CO² more efficiently than a forest and we can create superior hemp wood from it … forests can literally be left alone. This creates a great incentive for a more nature friendly policy and mentality.
We at Hemp Nation think there are plenty opportunities with hemp in the main role, but let’s not reinforce a purely economic logic. In stead create opportunity within a cooperative and holistic vision of systems which can learn from and reinforce each other with a eye for the balance of each member and our planet. That would be progress.
