Elena Doms, co-founder of Earth Plus, shares the incredible work her company is doing to regenerate degraded land using nature-based solutions—with hemp as a key player.
Learn how industrial hemp, known for its powerful phytoremediation properties, is being used to clean soils contaminated with PFAs, revitalize ecosystems, and even produce sustainable, bio-based materials like construction panels.
Elena explains why this resilient plant is central to the fight against pollution and how soil health restoration can also serve as a climate solution by sequestering carbon.
Key topics:
What are forever chemicals (PFAs): learn about PFAs, their impact on soil health, human health, and why they’re so hard to eliminate from the environment.
Hemp for soil remediation: discover how industrial hemp is used to clean polluted soils through phytoremediation, restoring ecosystems naturally.
Bio-based construction materials: hemp-based sustainable building materials like hemp wood and bio-composites offer eco-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-based products.
Regenerative agriculture with hemp: hemp improves soil health, boosts biodiversity, and helps with carbon sequestration while fitting perfectly into crop rotations.
Scaling nature-based solutions globally: learn about Earth Plus’s pilot projects using hemp to regenerate soils and restore ecosystems.
Carbon sequestration in bio-based materials: discover how hemp sequesters carbon in both soil and biomass, turning construction materials into carbon sinks.
Challenges of phasing out forever chemicals: a look at the policy and regulatory hurdles in banning PFAs and why regenerative solutions are critical for the future.
Vision for soil restoration: Elena shares her journey and Earth Plus’s mission to lead the world’s largest soil CO2 cleanup and restore degraded land globally.
This podcast was produced in partnership with Soil Capital, a company that supports regenerative agriculture by financially rewarding farmers who improve soil health.
