Help Support U.S. Hemp Nutritional Research!!
Embedded Files
Thanks to our generous donors and volunteers, we are set to receive the raw nutritional data on hemp biomass from the laboratories at the beginning of February.
We are studying hemp biomass nutrition, i.e. flowers, leaves, and seeds, in four ways:
Fresh, with seeds.
Fresh, without seeds.
Dried, with seeds.
Dried, without seeds.

WHY GIVING MATTERS:
Advancing Health and Nutrition Knowledge: Contributing to a complex hemp nutritional study supports research into the unique nutritional profile of hemp, which, from past studies we know it is rich in proteins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, amino acids, edible fiber, and micronutrients. This study will help explain and uncover evidence-based health benefits, such as improved heart and brain health, reduced inflammation, or better digestive function, helping individuals make informed dietary choices. Your contribution will drive scientific discoveries that will benefit public health and nutrition globally.
Promoting Sustainable Food Systems: Hemp is an environmentally friendly crop requiring minimal water, pesticides, and land compared to other crops. Funding this study could demonstrate how hemp-based foods can contribute to sustainable nutrition, addressing food security and environmental challenges. By supporting this research, you’re investing in a greener future and encouraging solutions using eco-conscious agriculture with hemp grown without dangerous and deadly herbicides and pesticides. Initial nutritional studies in livestock have already shown multiple health benefits for animals with a hemp biomass-inclusive diet.
Supporting Economic and Social Impact: Hemp nutrition research can drive innovation in the food industry, creating opportunities for farmers, producers, and communities by expanding the market for hemp-based products. Your donation will help validate hemp’s role in nutrition, leading to job creation and economic growth, particularly in regions where hemp cultivation is emerging. It also empowers consumers with diverse, plant-based dietary options, fostering inclusivity and health equity.
Your contribution directly funds cutting-edge research that will transform hemp nutrition, sustainability, and economic opportunities, making an important impact on human health.
