What is the Food First Initiative?
Embedded Files
The Food First Initiative is a 501c3 organization dedicated to studying whole hemp biomass, i.e. flowers, leaves, and seeds, to determine and recognize its nutritional value.
The primary focus is federally legal hemp, a natural treasure that has long been denied to Americans despite its remarkable nutritional and practical potential.
For decades, misinformation campaigns have perpetuated a system that restricts access to valuable nutritional resources like cannabis.
The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 marked a significant turning point by introducing a federal hemp program and reducing regulations surrounding cannabis. This legislative breakthrough effectively paved the way for research, growth, and a more enlightened perspective on the nutritional value of raw hemp.
The initiative has forged partnerships with renowned individuals, organizations, universities, and government agencies to conduct in-depth research on the nutritional attributes of federally regulated raw hemp.
The research findings, which will be made public, are anticipated to shed light on the rich essential minerals, nutrients, vitamins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids present in mature hemp. These components, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6, have been shown to have a positive impact on health over time when consumed in their raw form in the diet.
Moreover, this initiative aims to educate the public about the Human Endocannabinoid System, a crucial physiological system that regulates various bodily functions, even down to the cellular and central nervous system levels.
By amassing critical data on cannabis's nutritional attributes, the Food First Initiative seeks to establish cannabis as a "Food First" within government agencies, paving the way for a comprehensive reevaluation and dismantling of federal regulations and interference related to cannabis.

Many Hands...
Only together can we demand answers and have absolute scientific facts to show the public. Our agencies must prioritize cannabis research and we must stand shoulder-to-shoulder on this issue.

Cannabis leaves, flowers, and seeds are wholly edible and quite nutritious for our bodies. They contain essential fatty and amino acids, and other minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients.
We want USDA to acknowledge and publish!

We want the USDA FoodData Central to oversee and publish the study. We must demand the participation of the agencies to validate the results to the public.
As a token of gratitude, valued donors of any amount will receive regular updates on advocacy progress each month and be alerted to events and calls-to-action related to the initiative.
Gracious donors and supporters of all levels and types are valued sponsors of the Food First Initiative.
The USDA refused to conduct, or oversee this research.
We received USDA lab SOPs and selection processes by FOIA.
We have coordinated this study alongside hemp farmers and food scientists; both adhering to USDA standards.
