Our Mission
The mission of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable is to advocate for science-driven, equitable, and inclusive law and regulation for hemp industries – including agriculture, oilseed, fiber and extracts, such as CBD – to produce a reliable, sustainable supply chain of responsible commerce.
The U.S. Hemp Roundtable is a coalition of dozens of leading companies and organizations committed to safe hemp and CBD products. We proudly represent the industry’s major national grassroots organizations, and are leading the way forward for hemp and CBD products through education and action.
OUR VALUES
The U.S. Hemp Roundtable works closely with its members and advocacy partners to support policies, legislation or initiatives that reflect one or more of our “seed” values —
Sustainability: Promoting research and development opportunities for the advancement of hemp fiber production as a sustainable, climate-smart agricultural commodity.
Ethics and Accountability: Ensuring best practices and high standards that protect hemp producers, retailers and consumers.
Equity and Justice: Providing economic empowerment, restorative justice, and equitable access to communities of color and minority-owned enterprises.
Diversity and Inclusion: Creating a more diverse and inclusive industry by engaging underserved, minority producers with more resources to participate in the market.
Science and Reason: Using scientific evidence and real-world data analyzed by experts and discussed amongst the industry to establish sensible rules and regulations for products and producers.
OUR PRIORITIES
1
Pass legislation to require FDA regulation of hemp extracts such as CBD as a dietary supplement and food and beverage additive.
2
Ensure passage of hemp-friendly 2023 Farm Bill, including priorities for hemp-extracts, certified seeds, removing the hemp felon ban, and raising allowable THC in the field to 1%.
3
Make meaningful impacts in justice and sustainability, which includes working with HBCU’s, the U.S. Hemp Authority, and the U.S. Hemp Sustainability Foundation to develop sustainability standards for hemp growth and products.
