Welcome to the latest episode of Beyond the Baja, where we take a winding journey through history—one that starts with the uncertainty of JFK’s assassination, transitions through Gavrilo Princip’s fateful moment, explores the wisdom of Plato, and lands with the timeless insights of our Founding Fathers.
At first glance, this might seem like an odd mix of topics. But as we dig deeper, we uncover how each one of these historical moments, figures, and ideas connects to the future of farming—and more specifically, the incredible potential of hemp.
What if we asked, what’s the most impactful invention in human history? What single invention shaped the world more than any other—for better and for worse? Some might say fire, the bow and arrow, or the printing press. But what if I were to suggest that one of the most world-altering inventions was…something else?
An invention that made farming more efficient, leading to surplus food, trade routes, and ultimately, cities and civilizations. And as we explore these key moments from history, we’ll see how they all weave into the future of agriculture, sustainability, and—yes—hemp.
Through this exploration, we dive into the power of understanding the past, not just to remember, but to learn how we can change the course of the future. We’ll break down how hemp—long regarded as a crop of both practical and historical significance—holds the key to reshaping agriculture for a more sustainable and regenerative future.
So, whether you’re here for history, hemp, or both, join me on this journey. Let’s rethink how the past shapes our agricultural future, and why hemp is the crop we need today more than ever.
If you’re tired of the echo chamber and ready to talk about what it actually takes to scale this industry—everything from equipment access to honest economics—this is your space. Let’s move past the cannabinoid hype and focus on what will truly lead to sustainability and scale.
Whether you’re in it for the long haul or just trying to make sense of the madness, Beyond the Baja is where honest conversation meets future-forward thinking.
