### A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Impact of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa) and Soil Microalgae Consortium (Chlorella spp and Scenedesmus spp) as High-Efficiency Carbon Sequestration Model Plants: Implications for Climate Change and Soil Improvement

Industrial hemp for fiber would be cultivated and marketed in&#x2004;the southeastern United States as a high efficiency carbon sequestration and a climate-smart commodity crop. The project plans to provide financial assistance to small and/or underserved farmers to implement Climate-Smart Agriculture and Forestry practices. The National Hemp Growers Cooperative, LLC (NHGC) would engage industry partners to create markets for processing industrial hemp into several climate-smart commodities. While developing markets for farmers, the NHGC plan to buy all industrial hemp from all farmers during the duration the grant.

### Farmers Guiding Farmers Towards Climate Smart Agriculture

This project plans to advance equity by minimizing transaction costs and addressing cultural dynamics for Black and indigenous producers by using a farmer-to-farmer collaborative training approach. Farmers would define culturally appropriate product labels, and partners would work to increase market access, specifically through marketing the value-add of using climate-smart practices like cover crops, no-till, tree planting and prescribed grazing.

### Soil Enhancement, Carbon Sequestration, and promoting Climate-Smart Commodities

This project, led by minority serving university Florida A&M, plans to develop biochar-based climate-smart practices and technologies that may be&#x2004;implemented on farms, especially on underserved farms, and to market the resulting climate-smart commodities. In addition to free training and consulting, the producers are planned to receive a financial stimulus per acre of farmland used to implement climate-smart practices using biochar such as soil amendment, water infiltration and manure composting. Partner institutes and companies plan to contract with the landowners and producers to purchase some of the resulting commodities for research, product development, and food manufacturing purposes.
