My name is Dan Carter CEO of the Canadian Hemp Farmers Alliance. Canada's largest hemp farmers co-operative. We are also working with USA hemp farmers with access to 250+ hemp farmers. 

the Duty of the CHFA is to help farmers sell there hemp plants to various manufacturing facilities. The CHFA sells product to processors who help tackle the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

The CHFA has been discussing with AHPA & Canada's agriculture departments on developing a global "Commercial Hemp Good Agriculture Practice Plan" to ensure all parts of plant meets medicine grade which will increase per acre profits which will incentivize agriculture growth in North America.

The Canadian Hemp Farmers Alliance is on route to create North Americas largest hemp farmers co-operative to grow out doors. The reason behind the co-operative model is so we can logistically maximize our efforts to reach the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

A huge concern that the CHFA has is the amount of c02 emissions being emitted by manufacturers within building materials, auto mobile parts, metals processors, plastics, liquid fuel, coal energy, wood energy, petroleum fracking, oil burning, gas burning, dairy, beef, cement.

All the above contribute to the majority of the globes largest C02 Emissions which is contributed by the wealthy and been found to hinder communities that are poverty stricken the most. We do not like how the way things have been going and would like to contribute in a large way to change the course of how the global processors use materials and how hemp can be the alternative crop to meet the c02 sequestering needs.

The Canadian Hemp Farmers Alliance has done a global market research and have calculated the amount of c02 emissions emitted from major industries and how many acres of hemp is needed to sequester all the c02 emitted to become a zero carbon foot print planet.

The CHFA has been working and educating the Federal Canadian Procurement officers at Parliament Hill on the benefits and uses of hemp and how we need to make it more difficult to use the current toxic materials by applying heavy tariffs, fees and loop holes that make obtaining that product unfeasible to use anymore. We have proposed that the government than creates c02 sequestering credits/funds to processors who start using hemp to develop there materials. Also creating c02 sequester credits/ funds for the farmers/ land owners growing hemp which will rapidly expand the number of farmers growing hemp in a short amount of time which is needed to meet the UN SDGs. 

This will incentivize agriculture growth with farmers knowing the government will be purchasing all parts of the hemp plant. With this style of synergistic relationship between farmers, processors North American Governments, Investors will sky rocket our efforts on meeting the UN SDGs of reducing global C02 emissions by 50% for 2030 and become a zero foot print planet by year 2050.

With all this hemp being grown to sequester c02 emissions globally and being developed from hemp to reduce c02 being emitted will allow the CHFA to tackle 13 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

To conclude the CHFA would like to work with the USDA to ensure all farmers come to the Canadian hemp farmers alliance so we can logistically maximize our efforts on growing hemp to tackle 13 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
