Mission
I-Hemp Katalyst was founded to offer high quality industrial hemp fiber products to the American manufacturing market while creating environmentally friendly business opportunities for new and existing farmers, builders and producers. Industrial hemp offers carbon credit and sequestration opportunities for partner clients in a variety of industries. Creating hemp growing opportunities through a cooperative will help preserve family farm land for many more generations while building workforce development and domestic production capabilities for many regions.
Environment
The increasing forward momentum towards carbon reduction-based incentives in the United States and globally establishes an additional more indirect market that opens up non industry specific enterprises to an opportunity that utilizes hemp production to offset carbon production. Since hemp itself serves as a low input, highly resilient carbon sink, we can partner with other industries to not only plant hemp but produce the materials needed to manufacture tens of thousands of products the world uses on a daily basis.
Impact
Our mission is to make the US the largest industrial hemp producer and innovator in the world. We will accomplish this with innovative farmer programs along with our Market Place that will educate, connect, promote and centralize all things US industrial hemp. We will invest in R&D efforts to find new ways to use hemp fibers and communicate the value and be the Katalyst for transformation of industries and environmental healing.
