A global industry needs unity, and Global Hemp Association members come from every corner of the planet. A planet that needs our help to mitigate climate change, in part with hemp. Through GHA, the hemp networking group, members gain access to funding and top level research, form relationships and collaborate on projects.
Our members are vetted industry professionals involved with every aspect of industrial hemp. Farmers, scientists and researchers, Fortune 500s, fashion designers, construction professionals and more.
Sustainable and ethically sourced products. Mitigating climate change. Regenerative agriculture. That’s hemp. And that’s you. And that’s us.

Grow Your Hemp Business
“A one stop shop” for Hemp Professionals
That’s how one of our members described Global Hemp Association.
One of the first things that happens after you join GHA is a 30 minute discovery call with CEO, Mandi Lynn Kerr.
She knows where to find the research you need to move your project forward, who’s offering funding, who’s buying crops and who’s selling. She makes it her mission to know what everyone has and needs to be successful.
Whether you have a strictly industrial hemp business or want to use the plant to make your supply chain more sustainable, we have what you need to grow the hemp industry. Relationships and collaboration. Research and data. Grading and standard development. Funding. Marketing.

Grow an Industry, Build a Platform
So how do you build an industry around a plant that was once illegal? How do you bring people together when almost every social media platform heavily censors anything that mentions a plant?
You build your own platform. And that’s what we did.
Hemp Hallway is our community platform and most of the magic of our group happens there. When you join the hundreds of members who are already part of GHA, you’ll have full access to everything the Hallway has to offer, including historical and university-level research.
Have a look and try out a meeting.
Meet People, Talk Hemp
People like GHA because we make it all about you and the plant. Take a test run—try out one of our networking meetings and if you like what you see, we would love to have you join us.
We have over 400 hours of recorded interviews and group meetings discussing all things associated with hemp, including the supply chain and industrial applications. And most of the interviews are just sitting on our YouTube channel.
Have at ‘em.
Learn everything you want to know about growing the hemp supply chain and then if you want more, or want to connect with the people in the interviews, join GHA. We would love to have you.
“The GHA has become our “go-to” resource for all things HEMP! From regular webinars to networking opportunities, Mandi and her team are the definitive leaders in the hemp industry.”
