The HFC is a diverse set of stakeholders across hemp, agricultural, supplement, animal production, pet and manufacturing industries working together to gain approval for hemp as an feed ingredient.
Our mission is to gain Federal approval for hemp and its byproducts as animal feed to create new markets.
Our vision is to grow hemp producers and processors access to the billion-dollar animal feed and supplements market; completing a local supply chain from farmer to feeder.
