Chris Parent, Cochise County, AZ

 

C H R I S  P A R E N T

Chris Parent is the Vice President, Hydroponics at the Veterans Church since the spring of 2018 concurrent with being a Conductor on the Computer Underground Railroad.  He is a key team player in the revised mission to make hunger, homelessness and thirst ancient concepts using (new age) #greenhouse farming, #3dprinting buildings / infrastructure, and atmospheric water generation systems. 

Parent’s background perfectly suits him for the work at hand. He has a long and distinguished history in community empowerment, farming and food service, giving him a greatly needed, dynamic agricultural perspective in this age of a pandemic, climate crisis plus projected food and water shortages. 

As far back as 1996 Parent specialized in solution based good works. 

Community Service: From 1996-2000 he was a volunteer for President Jimmy Carter’s Habitat for Humanity in Americus, GA; the American Red Cross in Douglas, AZ; Public Works for the Douglas Nature Conservatory and the Leaders corps in Flagstaff, AZ.

Food Service / Restaurant Owner: Parent’s passion for growing plants and cooking resulted in in him owning two successful local restaurants between 2000 and 2008, Mountain Sushi Bar (2002-05) and Renaissance Pizza (2005-08) where he was responsible for all aspects of his restaurants, i.e. ordering ingredients, preparing food, employee management and most importantly, customer service.

Health Care: As a Cochise County Caregiver, using biofeedback and plant based medicines that he grows, Chris is a local healing legend in the community. Many who have used his techniques, both physical and spiritual, have experienced healings as a result of his guidance.

Hydroponics: Parent’s 12 years as a farmer is rich in experience. In addition to farming, he is consulting in the art and science of growing healthy, high quality crops to other local farmers. By combining hydroponics with robotics and his experiences with his scientific background, he is perfectly suited for this trailblazing, profitable and community enriching work.

Education: Parent’s formal education achieved a B.A. from Northern Arizona University in 2001 where he majored in religious studies with a minor in French and a B.S. in zoology minoring in chemistry. While there he served as the founder and president of NAU Students For A Free Tibet and as a tutor in the fields of English, algebra/precalculus and physics. His education is the perfect foundation for these works.

Parent's strategic guidance and hands on experience in the field of seed to plate food service is a big part of the reason this mission is as developed as it is. 

When the R&D question was aquaponic (water and fish) or hydroponic (water and nutrients), he made the right call. 

During an exhaustive search sorting through the many greenhouse companies he not only chose the best one, AmHydro, he already has plans to triple the growing space in the greenhouse configuration. 

While navigating through the endless maze called Cochise County, (which made it illegal to operate a commercial farm on the property in Mc Neal, AZ by doubling the land requirements to open a farm) his calm and logical spirit consistently lifts the missions of those around him.

Kyoto Hemp Forum - On Line Rooms

The Japan Hemp Association hosted an international gathering of hemp advocates in Kyoto, Japan, where the Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997 to address climate change. An amazing gathering of activist shared insights and notes, working out an effective, international hemp phytoremediation plan.

Hemp is an effective tool we can use to solve climate change because it pulls excess CO2 from the atmosphere as it grows and it's extensive root system cleans toxins from the soil like lead and nuclear radiation.

Here's some information on the event, which is planning a gathering in Thailand in 2022. 

In case you haven't noticed, the climate is changing.



GET HEMPED!
PLEASE SHARE YOUR IDEAS!

It is imperative that we provide for at least seven generations ahead.Climate change must begin within, by fully understanding the problem, cause and solution.  When the problem is too much pollution, the solution is to remove the pollution.

Now that we've done the first Kyoto Hemp Forum, the next step in the process is to focus on getting hemp seeds into the ground. We have plenty proof that planting hemp is the right thing to do. 

To understand what's needed, we must talk to the farmers about what they need to engage in large scale hemp farming. Then we can teach the governments, UN and industry how to hemp from the foundation, up.  

FarmAid's annual concert is September 17, 2016. They have an activists section there and we're presenting a crop financed international phytoremediation program. Please share ideas on our call to farmers and others why we must get as many hemp seeds in the ground as possible now. As the grandest lady of all, male or female, Earth needs her weed!

Kyoto Hemp Forum - Water



 

“Water, the fluid of life, makes up more than 80 percent of the weight of the living planet. Within the cells, life’s processes take lace in a water solution. Water also dissolves nutrients in the soil, and this solution is absorbed by the roots. About 99% of the water absorbed passes from the roots into the conduits (xylem) of the stem, where it is distributed to the leaves via the xylem of the leaf veins.” Marijuana Growers Guide, Revised 1990 Edition, by Mel Frank and Ed Rosenthal. Page 115
 

While there is no shortage of water on the planet, we do have to stop being trifling and clean the water we need. We have the technology, motivation, and survival instinct to move us forward. We can be 3d Printing a new infrastructure that includes an ocean water desalination plants and pipes. On site water clean systems can add more cleaning. One of the systems is Jungle Secret Water, invented by Ralph Suddath who worked with Dr. Masaru Emoto.




Regarding the phytoremediation plants in magnetic water, it's logical to assume that bigger plants pull more toxins. That's just theory and worth testing. The lead in water crisis rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper as lead causes violent behavior.

Kyoto Hemp Forum - Agriculture



When the problem is not enough food, the solution is to grow more food. Hemp foods solve that problem. When the problem is homelessness, the solution is to grow more raw resource material to make homes out of. Solving our agricultural problems using basic science can co-create abundant, healthy harvests. 



“Hemp improves the physical condition of the soil, and when retted on the same ground where it grows, it returns most of the fertilizing elements” Hemp, Lifeline To The Future by Chris Conrad pg. 167 



Hemp breathes in the excess global warming CO2 gas from the air as it grows” said Richard M. Davis, USA Hemp Museum

Focusing on agriculture is the best way to begin the process of using hemp to help us deal with climate change. As we rebuild our agricultural structure from the foundation, roots up we must scientifically factor in farming basics. Water, soil condition, seeds, temperatures and lights.

From using a magnetic vortex water cleaning system, to better lighting i.e. , empowering system to choosing the perfect seeds for the environment, our agriculture portion of the hemp solution is key to not only reversing climate change, but also aiding the special needs of people now designated in the USA as "climate change refugees"


Serious Seeds - Time 4 Hemp

Hemp is a powerful, fast growing plant that has tens of thousands of applications, and that number does not factor in 3D printing.  With a growing span of 90-120 days, we can begin the process to Phytoremediate Earth.





The male plant is primarily used for industrial uses and the female plant for medical and recreational uses. Yes, the plant can even change genders. Either way, hemp can help us achieve a cleaner, healthier world.

Since hemp can grow in any agronomic farming system and requires no toxic chemicals to grow it is what Willie Nelson calls “A Peaceful Solution”.

Kyoto Hemp Forum - Phytoremediation

Since the problem is too many toxins in the soil, water and air, the solution is to use effective means to clean it up. 



Phytoremediation is the science of using plants to help clean our environment. Richard M. Davis, USA Hemp Museum frequently said that hemp is a biomass champion at pulling toxins from our environment. For example, hemp breathes excess CO2, a major greenhouse gas as it grows.

Focusing on agriculture is the best way to begin the process of using hemp to help us deal with climate change.Climate change is a global problem, not fixable by any one nation, though it will take only one nation to begin. When the cause of climate change is too many toxins in the environment, out of balance, the solution is to remove the excess toxins and restore balance. This is simple science.

In the name of greed, we have made parts of nature illegal while we wonder why we have environmental problems.

Hemp was planted around Chernobyl's nuclear disaster site to pull radioactive elements from the ground. Jack Herer said that hemp works like a mop absorbing nuclear toxins from the soil. Toxic metals like lead, which causes violent behavior and other health problems, are also absorbed by hemp and other phytoremediation plants like tobacco, mushrooms, thistle, sunflowers, etc. Science from many governments and educational institutions back up the need for us to implement an international phytoremediation program immediately to help solve climate change at the level of cause.

An immediate end to hemp prohibition will allow us to use this biomass champion in a hemp phytoremediation program.   

"Phytoremediation can be defined as the decontamination of soil, sediment or water using plant growth. Industrial hemp, Cannabis sativa L., is renowned for its ability to grow rapidly. In one growing season, fiber hemp can yield 250 to 400 plants per square meter, with each plant reaching up to 5 meters in height. As a result, hemp has been identified as a plant with the potential to serve as a phytoremediator." The same way hemp was used to clean up the toxins around Chernobyl, we should be using hemp to clean up the toxins from the Gulf of Mexico "oil spill" (more like a volcano) and other environmental crisis situations.


Remember: The McGraw-Hill Companies reported in 2000 "Overall, phytoremediation has great potential for cleaning up toxic metals, pesticides, solvents, gasoline, and explosives."
