Chemurgy is plant-based industry. Chemurgy is plant-based building. Chemurgy is plant-based medicine. 

Chemurgy is 3-D printing.

Chemurgy is harm reduction.

Chemurgy is plant-based fashion, nutrition, skin care, culinary arts, regenerative farming, bee keeping, and much more. 

Chemurgy is the chemical and industrial use of organic raw plant materials. 

YES, we believe that hemp has the most potential to help us reach our goals:  

Products made from hemp provide healthier living environments.  In other words, healthy homes!  

Hemp insulation is fire- and mold-proof.  Hempcrete is carbon-neutral, biodegradable and eliminates construction waste.  Above ground level, Hemp products can last hundreds of years, but when buried in the ground, decompose in a matter of months into earth-friendly byproducts.  Hemp fabrics last forever.

BUT Chemurgy is much more than hemp. 

Often referred to as the "father of chemurgy," George Washington Carver was an African American agricultural scientist and inventor.  Born into slavery in mid-19th century Missouri, Carver became a foremost American scientist.

Carver saw the potential for agricultural products to replace petroleum-based materials in industry, which would reduce dependence on fossil fuels. 

Regenerative farming helps replace commercial fertilizers that harm the soil. Carver’s work in chemurgy helped promote sustainable agriculture and the use of renewable resources.  He believed that farmers could benefit from diversifying their crops and finding new uses for their products. 

Hempanista sees a world of new career opportunities in chemurgy.

Carver's legacy as a pioneer in this field continues to inspire researchers and innovators around the world.  Scientists and engineers are developing new products and processes that utilize renewable resources and reduce environmental impact.  Chemurgy can and will generate vast new career and business opportunities, not only in construction and manufacturing, but also in nutrition, food preparation and the businesses they generate.  Skin care and medicine. Harm reduction. 3D Printing. Textiles and fashion.  Even bee keeping.

Chemurgy is the future.

Hempanista makes it happen.
