Mission Statement

One of the greatest humanitarian crises of current day is happening in Afghanistan. Afghanistan heavily relies on food imports from neighboring countries, which until recently has been subsidized by foreign support.

Economic tribulations stemming from political turmoil, sanctions, and currency devaluation have decimated Afghanistan’s ability to import food, resulting in widespread malnutrition and starvation. Implementation of local, nutrient-rich food production is imperative for regional stability.

We propose to alleviate this problem with high nutrition varieties of a crop historically native to Afghanistan, hemp.
