We hope this message finds you well. We are excited to extend an invitation to your esteemed institution to incorporate an online course titled The New Green Revolution - Hemp 101, into your curriculum for the Spring 2024 semester. The Hemp 101 course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in industrial hemp agriculture sustainably and effectively, emphasizing the importance of Indigenous perspectives and ecological stewardship.
Course Overview of New Green Revolution Hemp 101
It is said that 100 years ago or so, we had a choice between a carbohydrate economy and a hydrocarbonate economy. We made the wrong choice. We are going to make the right choice now and create the New Green Revolution.
The New Green Revolution Hemp 101, is a course about the potential of hemp, and how Indigenous farmers and nations are embracing this new economy. Hemp can transform our materials and textiles economies, return carbon to the soil, be a central material in sustainable housing, provide health and well-being, and be a path to restorative justice. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of industrial hemp as a transformative crop, including its history, cultural significance, the legal and historical landscape, and the state of the hemp renaissance surrounding its cultivation and use.
