HOME / ABOUT
Hi. We’re HEMI.
HEMI® is a nonprofit led by a Board made up primarily of farmers, manufacturing professionals, and providers of hemp-based products, working collaboratively to build a sustainable future.
A better future starts with industrial hemp
Hemp requires little water and no pesticides, plus absorbs more CO₂ per acre than most plants. Its fast growth cycle (4 months) and multiple product yields from one crop provide a cost advantage. And being grown/processed in the U.S. reduces dependency on imported raw goods and supports American agriculture.
OUR MISSION:
To build a robust and resilient hemp industry that champions health and environmental sustainability, strengthens agricultural communities, revitalizes domestic manufacturing, enhances food security and health, and empowers U.S. farmers and processors to excel in a competitive global marketplace.
