We’re Rebuilding the

Industrial Base

With better inputs, better incentives, and better ownership structures.

THE CORE TRUTH

The Economy Was Designed.
We Can Design a Better One.

For over a century, our lives have been shaped by a single material system: oil.
It determined where factories went, which towns thrived or collapsed, what farmers could grow, and who controlled the wealth.

Not because oil was the best material.
Because it was the easiest to centralize.

Hemp and bamboo break that model.
They decentralize production, shorten supply chains, and move ownership back into real communities.
That’s the work we do here.

Our Mission

To accelerate the shift from petrochemical inputs to bio-based fiber systems by building the research, tools, partnerships, and infrastructure that make the transition possible.

We do this by:

  • building the largest open-source technical library on hemp & bamboo

  • funding field pilots, farmer transitions, and processing hubs

  • connecting universities, labs, and manufacturers

  • driving consumer-based market signals

  • empowering women—the true economic engine of the transition

  • supporting rural redevelopment and community ownership

  • enabling FEOC-compliant materials for U.S. industry

  • coordinating capital into real bio industrial assets

This is not activism.
This is industrial strategy.

Who We Serve

Farmers

Reliable multi-year contracts, crop diversification, fiber trials, carbon stacking, and rural job creation.

Manufacturers

New feedstocks for textiles, composites, panels, batteries, filtration, and bioplastics.

Researchers & Universities

Real-world projects, industry partnerships, and film & finance storytelling opportunities.

Women & Consumers

The purchasing power behind the shift — owning the narrative, the data, and the downstream influence.

Rural & Industrial Communities

The first real investment in decades: processing hubs, jobs, and shared-ownership models..

Women Are Central to the Transition

  • Women drive 80% of consumer spending.

  • Women lead the majority of emerging regenerative startups.

  • Women have the most influence over household purchasing and community investment.

The petrochemical era ignored this power.
The bioeconomy is built with it.

This is both economic reality and strategic advantage.

The Flywheel That Rebuilds Communities

Every purchase inside the ecosystem triggers the 5% reinvestment loop:

  • Fiber Foundry supports the Foundation

  • AFG funds infrastructure

  • The Foundation funds farmers, research, and rural projects

  • Communities get ownership and revenue

  • Consumers get better products

  • And the cycle strengthens

This is how you rebuild an industrial base without waiting for Washington or Wall Street.

What We Build

1. Grants Program (Microgrants + Pilots)

For farmers, makers, university teams, rural cooperatives.

2. Rural Redevelopment Initiative

Repurposing abandoned coal plants, mills, and warehouses for fiber processing.

3. Farmer Transition Support

Contracts, agronomy, processing access, carbon models, and multi-year runway.

4. Bioeconomy Research Accelerator

A film-finance style funding engine that accelerates university bioindustrial research.

The History Is Documented We Wrote the Book on It

Everything we do is grounded in documented history and yes, we wrote the damn book on it. Evolution Mine lays out how petrochemical monopolies formed, how early EPA and OSHA regulations were used to consolidate power, how natural fibers like hemp and bamboo were strategically sidelined, and how offshoring reshaped entire regions. The Evidence Wall on NowWeEvolve.com holds the primary proof: regulatory filings, lobbying disclosures, trade agreements, court records, declassified memos, internal industry playbooks, and economic data trails that show who benefited and who paid the price.

Across every era: the rise of petrochemical dominance, the globalization and dismantling of American manufacturing, and the modern fossil-funded influence machine. The evidence shows the same pattern: natural alternatives didn’t fail; they were blocked by design. The Evidence Wall lays out the receipts in plain view, the book maps the system’s architecture, and the Foundation builds what replaces it.

The Evidence Wall is not commentary, it’s the receipts.
The book is the map. The Foundation builds what comes next.

What We Believe

The old industrial system is collapsing under its own weight.

  1. The replacement will be built by ordinary people with extraordinary leverage.

  2. Solutions must be economic, not ideological.

  3. Ownership must flow back to communities, not conglomerates.

  4. Rural America deserves first position in the new industrial age.

  5. Women will lead the demand signal, the capital flow, and the cultural shift.

  6. Hemp and bamboo are not “alternatives.” They are the new baseline..
