Thanks so much to everyone who voted for it and helped make it happen! In the talk, Doug offers a three-step plan by which any of us can be a part of stabilizing extreme climate while growing superfood. As readers of Doug;’s book AMERICAN HEMP FARMER will know, he’s attempting a regenerative life in part because a bear, fleeing another —ho hum— millennial wildfire, attacked and killed most of his goats one June morning. The bliss of such a life, Doug writes, is a pleasant side-effect.

Doug Fine Live at SXSW

Doug Fine will be presenting his keynote titled, “What Anyone Can Do to Stabilize Climate-Plant Hemp” at the Climate Change Track of SXSW in Austin, Texas on March 16, 2022 at 2:30 p.m. (Hilton Salon F).

We’re all excited that that the SXSW folks have scheduled Doug’s talk in the Climate Change track — clearly the awareness is rising that sequestering carbon via regenerative farming is a topic whose audience goes far beyond fans of one plant, crucial though it is.

Here’s how Doug puts it in AMERICAN HEMP FARMER: "A growing body of research suggests that each cubic inch of topsoil we restore of the world’s farmland sequesters up to three billion tons of carbon annually. And hemp’s substantial taproots are absolutely stunning at creating the conditions that allow for the building of topsoil. We’re all wise to root for an industry that helps with climate stabilization. If the regenerative farming mode catches on, farmers might even sequester sufficient carbon to buy us humans a crucial century to get our underlying infrastructural cards in order—the goal being to thrive, rather than panic, as we glide into the post-petroleum future.” Building soil is one of my key tasks in this life. And recovery happens.”

When registering for the event you can find times for all the November 14 hemp tracks. Moving beyond our favorite plant, there are representatives of her friends the fungus and soil microbes: the one and only Paul Stametz and Sandor Katz.

Now let’s move on to the music: at the Convention we’ll groove to Particle Kid, Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, Edie Brickell, and Jack Johnson.

You can get your tickets for the full Convention at: HFUUHI.org. In so doing you support the Hawaii chapter of the National Farmers Union, an organization that advocates for a 3% THC definition of hemp! If you want to make soil bounty your calling, this is an event to attend. From soil building to jack fruit orcharding to hemp, everyone leaves this event having learned so much.

As always, Doug Fine’s 2020 #AmericanHempFarmer/Literally #HempBound World Tour event will be a rollicking experience with Doug talking regenerative hemp as a mode for building rural economies and mitigating climate change. The world, ya know, kind of needs this.
