Sustainability
the future of ag
At Wyoming Hemp Co., sustainability is at the heart of everything we do because we believe in the power of American farming, eco-friendly practices, and products made at home. By championing sustainable agriculture, we’re helping to secure the future of family farms for generations to come while building a resilient economy that benefits the environment, consumers, and farmers alike.
Our commitment to using U.S.-grown industrial hemp as our #1 ingredient reflects our belief that locally grown and processed hemp is the key to achieving regenerative sustainability—environmentally, economically, and socially. By focusing on a localized approach, we minimize our carbon footprint and promote practices that empower farmers, strengthen businesses, and protect our planet. Hemp’s natural regenerative properties and versatility make it a cornerstone of stewardship and sustainability in countless impactful ways.
Sequestering Carbon
Hemp is a carbon-negative crop that absorbs more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits, making it a powerful tool in combating climate change. By growing hemp, farmers and businesses can increase available carbon credits while contributing to cleaner air.
Conserving Water
Hemp thrives with less water than many other crops, making it an ideal choice for arid regions like Wyoming. At our research campus, we use precision agriculture techniques to study ways to reduce water usage while maintaining high yields. Through field days and outreach efforts, we share these findings with growers, empowering them to adopt more sustainable practices.
Maximizing Yields for Sustainable Products
Hemp’s high yields surpass those of cotton and flax, offering a sustainable alternative for products such as paper, clothing, and construction materials. At Wyoming Hemp Co., we collaborate to research and identify the best industrial hemp varieties for applications like animal bedding, oil absorbents, and building materials. By focusing on profitability for farmers and businesses, we ensure that sustainability aligns with economic success.
Promoting Natural Pest, Mold & Disease Control
Hemp’s natural immunity to many pests, fungi, and diseases reduces the need for harmful pesticides and chemicals. This resilience also makes our hemp-based animal bedding an environmentally friendly choice, benefiting animals, their owners, and the planet.
Improving Human and Environmental Health
Hemp’s deep-rooted system captures metals and toxins from soil, air, and water through a process called phytoremediation, offering a natural way to restore environmental health. Biodegradable and adaptable to various ecosystems, hemp’s countless commercial uses further cement its role as a sustainable powerhouse. We advocate for the growth of industrial hemp because it benefits farmers while improving environmental and human well-being.
Reducing Deforestation
With the planet losing an estimated 19 million acres of forests annually, hemp offers a sustainable solution. This fast-growing, biodegradable crop requires less space than trees and regenerates quickly, making it an ideal alternative for paper, textiles, and more. Locally grown hemp helps reduce deforestation while supporting regional economies.
Future-Focused Economic Development
Hemp drives job creation and economic growth in rural and urban areas, all while improving environmental quality. As a crop that fosters both prosperity and sustainability, hemp positions businesses and communities to thrive while protecting the planet for future generations.
Supporting Communities
Wyoming Hemp Co. is proud to champion local farmers, businesses, and organizations through partnerships that promote hemp industry growth across the state. We provide internships and volunteer opportunities to nurture the next generation of hemp industry leaders. Our CEO, as President of the Wyoming Hemp Association, advocates for legislation that supports environmental and economic sustainability.
Each member of our team is committed to community advancement, volunteering with schools and civic organizations to make a difference. At Wyoming Hemp Co., we’re proud to lead by example, proving that sustainable hemp production can be a force for good.
Our Audacious
Sustainability Goal
By 2030, Wyoming Hemp Co. aims to achieve certification as a Regenerative Farm, setting the standard for sustainable farming practices.
