In an effort to raise public awareness of hemp seed s remarkable nutritious properties, and to help those most in need, Hemp Can Help is hoping hemp farmers will give a little back as a symbolic thank you for ending 60 years of prohibition. Russia's grain harvest this year is expected to be its worst since the 1950s. Many isolated regions, especially in the Russian North, are being particularly hard-hit. According to recent Globe and Mail articles, many isolated towns and villages in the Russian Far North are facing a serious danger of malnutrition because of the Russian economic crisis, which has hampered supplies to the North. Food and fuel shortages have left many northerners in a desperate situation, and evacuations of several villages have already begun.
People feel they've been abandoned and forgotten.
It's a very big problem. They're losing the will to survive. Local people are walking like zombies because they have nothing to eat. People are eating dogs. If you are growing hemp for grain this year, please consider donating a portion of this year s crop to those in desperate need.
