There is still a stigma attached to the hemp plant primarily due to its association to cannabis for nearly a century. CBD was the bell of the ball when hemp was federally legalized, but now the industrial uses for the plant are starting to gain headway and interest is growing in the plethora of uses for the plant and the many benefits it can provide in our daily lives. https://foodsecurityhawaii.org/fsh-blog/2024/2/25/final-report-for-hemp-bamboo-and-soil-regeneration monthly 0.5 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/9a648f24-cfa7-499e-b95f-53fd150716fb/Picture1.jpg FSH Blog - Soil Remediation with Natural Biological Amendments - Microbes are the only things that can actually help us reverse climate change while also ensuring our food security, and our health.

This will entail designing brewing and spraying equipment that is appropriate at their scale, designing a transition period, supplying microbes, and helping them make the transition. And we continue to make new microbes and experiment with adding more oxygen to the fermenting process. Again we are working with tropical plants adding a layer of challenge to the learning curve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/7e82cf88-d13d-4ea0-880d-ec531a5fcb6d/Picture5.jpg FSH Blog - Soil Remediation with Natural Biological Amendments - Make it stand out AFTER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/4c09f9b9-4d65-4555-9a93-24fe34e714c8/Picture4.jpg FSH Blog - Soil Remediation with Natural Biological Amendments - Make it stand out BEFORE https://foodsecurityhawaii.org/fsh-blog/2023/10/30/trees-for-tomorrow-today monthly 0.5 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/11e6570c-9115-4135-989b-a821d556fe66/T4TT-Logo-Blk.jpg FSH Blog - Trees For Tomorrow Today - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/90ea82c6-e457-46d6-830f-cfd13a162c05/1+TFTT+Volunteers+Needed+-+Poster+1page+JPG.jpg FSH Blog - Trees For Tomorrow Today - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/d7ad7bcb-1125-4a07-bce9-20a5733831b0/Picture1.png FSH Blog - Trees For Tomorrow Today - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://foodsecurityhawaii.org/fsh-blog/2023/9/14/xwlq2jleallgwv9498nfvv5fb37jn6 monthly 0.5 2024-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/8983aff3-702a-437c-a7ee-efd8af771146/image-asset.jpg FSH Blog - Where We have Been & Where We Are Going - The Need For Heathy Soil The outcome of the Ohana Gardens project revealed the need for healthy microbe-rich soil.

It is also perfect for revitalizing Maui's agricultural areas, returning them to a productive and fertile state. Hempcrete can be used to build one house for every acre planted to industrial hemp. This project commenced in 2023 and is on going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd107bcd74562990c43198c/1586219342306-JZIZCB4SND3RLR00Q9JE/AdobeStock_328270932_boysoilplanter.jpeg FSH Projects - Maui Ohana Gardens We support people across the county to grow food in their backyards and neighborhoods.

The damage started back when the Hawaiian kings started to sell the Sandelwood and Koa trees. This sort of deforestation started drying out the soils and the small water cycle of our island was impacted. This trend was accelerated by the sugar and pineapple industries which opened up over 100 square miles of agricultural land on Maui – removing native vegetation that cycled water from ocean evaporation and protected soil microbes from the tropical sun. Step one in reversing this downward spiral is to work with the microbial communities. This project commenced in 2023 and is on going.
