Our mission now is underpinned by leveraging the eight forms of capital to enhance ecological health, support public goods, and initiate a global transition towards regenerative living starting from our own bioregion.**\n\n***Central to the efforts of our core community have been the 'Decentralize Hemp' project, which embodies our commitment to seed sovereignty by advocating for the freedom of life through the preservation and control of seed diversity. Alongside this, we focus on the cultivation of hemp, chosen for its environmental benefits and versatility. This initiative supports small and family-run hemp farms by aiming to establish micro-processing centers, regenerating ecosystems, and improving the hemp supply chain.*** *(As a fulfillment of our goal to preserve biodiversity, we've collected and securely stored four varieties of heirloom cannabis seeds in our seed bank, ensuring these precious genetic resources are safeguarded for future generations. Furthermore, we've successfully planted and harvested over 10 million seeds in collaboration with our network, across 6 different regions.)*\n\n\n***After years of experiencing the escalating metacrisis, we recognize the need for a proactive shift in our core approach. Our mission now goes beyond merely transforming agriculture; we are seeking to revolutionize our relationship with the Earth by adopting regenerative practices, advocating seed sovereignty, building resilient communities, and empowering ecosystems with data and accessible investment. Through collaboration with Regen Network, we aim to utilize innovative tools and technologies like Ecocredit Modules with bioregional projects to drive a global shift towards regenerative living as a whole and overcome the challenges faced by Nature in solidarity.***\n\n## Recent progress and continued efforts in the past year(ongoing to previous);\n\n\u2705**Launching a Social Regen Cooperative to challenge local legal boundaries for regeneration and public goods marks a significant step in our mission.
