WE'RE HEMPS BIGGEST FANS
Manitoba Harvest’s mission to transform consumer health starts simply and sustainably with hemp. Since 1998, we’ve grown our portfolio of hemp products with a dedication to quality, sustainability, and consumer wellness that has positioned the company as the global leader in hemp foods.
TRUSTED GROWING PARTNERS
Each of our growers has to meet very high standards of food quality and food safety and conform to the best agronomic practices. That means no herbicide or pesticide usage in the hemp crop – that’s written into the contracts all of our growers sign. It also means we supply agronomic coaching for field selection and crop rotation and getting things done on the farm without the help of potentially harmful chemicals. We work with growers on seed fertility practices and the details of organic certification. We’re a resource for them because we rely on one another.
Regenerative Organic Certified® is a revolutionary new certification for food, apparel, and personal care ingredients. Regenerative Organic Certified® farms and products meet the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.
With regenerative organic agriculture, we can rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. We can sequester carbon, build healthier communities, and reap more nutritious and abundant yields.
In practice, regenerative organic agriculture can look like cover cropping, crop rotation, low- to no-till, compost, and zero use of persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
All Regenerative Organic Certified® products and farms must also meet the requirements of the USDA Organic Certification.
The USDA organic regulations describe organic agriculture as the application of a set of cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that support the cycling of on-farm resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. These include maintaining or enhancing soil and water quality; conserving wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife; and avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering.
Organic producers use natural processes and materials when developing farming systems—these contribute to soil, crop, and livestock nutrition, pest and weed management, attainment of production goals, and conservation of biological diversity.
Non-GMO means a product was produced without genetic engineering and its ingredients are not derived from GMOs. Non-GMO Project Verified additionally means that a product is compliant with the Non-GMO Project Standard, which includes stringent provisions for testing, traceability, and segregation. Only Non-GMO Project Verified products are allowed to use the verification mark. Importantly, the mark includes the Project’s URL, where consumers can look up the Standard to better understand what it means.
A verified non-GMO system supports organic and regenerative agriculture by reducing contamination pressure and protecting the supply of non-GMO seed.
