Hemp Farmers Wanted

Are you interested in starting your own farm business in New York State? The Institute of Afrofuturist Ecology Regenerative Agriculture Initiative is designed for aspiring or beginning growers of African heritage to gain basic skills in regenerative farming, take steps toward food sovereignty and gain access to economic opportunities within the emerging hemp industry.

In December of 2022, Governor Hochul signed a bill to expand market opportunities for industrial hemp that would increase its uses in manufacturing and construction materials, including packaging, textiles and hempcrete. “Hemp is the material of the future, and positioning New York as a leading producer of the world’s industrial hemp supply is a winning strategy for fighting the Climate Crisis, bringing large-scale economic development to New York’s rural communities, and unlocking new revenue sources to put our farmers in a better financial position,”  -NYS Senator Michelle Hinchey.

We seek program participants who want to join us in creating a more just and sustainable future. It takes a village. No experience is necessary. Where there's a will, there's a way.
