A Farmer-Friendly Carbon Credit Model is Needed for the Hemp Industry
By PanXchange
Voluntary carbon offset markets offer corporations a way to reduce their carbon footprints, under growing pressure from shareholders and consumers. Organizations can now buy carbon credits, a monetization of the environmental services of removing CO2 and greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere to offset the corporation’s carbon emissions.
Planting hemp, with its superstar CO2-sequestering properties, is a prime example of a high-value environmental service to mitigate climate change. Hemp draws down CO2 from earth’s atmosphere during photosynthesis and stores it in biomass and the soil below. Hemp agriculture is well-positioned to earn substantial financial incentives within the emerging carbon market.

Big Cannabis Is Deploying Massive Resources To Attempt To Deny Hemp Access To Legal Markets
The price of both hemp biomass and processed hemp goods have collapsed since 2019, falling in some instances by 97% by the end of 2021. If that was not bad enough, the hemp industry is now facing extreme pressures from another source: Big Cannabis. Using their deep pockets and national law firms, Big Cannabis is lobbying regulators and legislators in an effort not only to reduce their competition, but to destroy it completely by denying it access to legal markets.
