Growers, processors, builders, and national advocacy groups each see one link of the domestic hemp supply chain. NIHC Pulse is the shared data layer underneath all four — the same live Research, Verification, Funding, and Policy signals, pulled from DEA, FDA, and USDA sources, running across every organization below, in real time.
Coalition Pulse Map
NIHC sits at the center; the four panelist organizations sit on the segments of the industry they represent. Each card below pulls its own live feed from the same Signals data already running across NIHC Pulse.
Signal feeds above are live from the same Signals dataset at /signals.html — nothing here is staged for the demo.
The Panel
Moderated conversation across five organizations, each anchored in a different link of the same supply chain.
Co-Founder & Principal, Bio-Smart Group — moderates the panel across all five organizations.
President & CEO, National Industrial Hemp Council — convenes the coalition and hosts NIHC Pulse.
President, Kentucky Hemp Growers Co-op Association — representing cultivation on the ground.
President, Hemp Feed Coalition — driving AAFCO feed-ingredient approval and processing standards.
President, US Hemp Building Association — building codes and hempcrete/fiber construction materials.
General Counsel, US Hemp Roundtable — federal and state legislative & regulatory strategy.
The Glue
None of these organizations sees the whole domestic supply chain from where they sit — a grower co-op doesn't track federal policy, and a national advocacy office doesn't track cultivation yields. NIHC Pulse is what lets them act like they do: the same live Signals feed, filtered five different ways for five different seats at the table.
The Research signals tracking DEA rules on cultivating hemp sit in the same dataset as FDA's live Verification signal on cannabis-derived products in animal feed — the crop and the feed-ingredient approval work it feeds into, in one place.
USDA's live Funding signals — processing-expansion grants, rural cooperative development, specialty-crop infrastructure — are the same feed builders draw on to scale hempcrete and fiber manufacturing capacity. Processing money and building capacity move through one stream, not two.
The same 12 live Policy signals — DEA's marijuana-rescheduling rule, USDA's Domestic Hemp Production Program — are what US Hemp Roundtable tracks for legislative strategy and what NIHC uses to convene the coalition. One feed, read for two different jobs.
That's what “working together works” means outside a slogan: a domestic industry running on one live data layer instead of five disconnected ones. Patrick Atagi convenes the coalition; NIHC Pulse is the infrastructure that makes the convening real between meetings, not just during them.
