An Introduction. My name is Eric Stevens
I want to be clear about who I am and why I am here.
I recently published my book, Evolution Mine: Genesis.

I made it free on purpose. The idea matters more than the money.
For the last 15 years, I have been working inside the systems most people only argue about from the outside. Global trade. Manufacturing. Supply chains. Policy. Commodities. Labor. Capital flow.
I helped Vietnam enter the World Trade Organization in 2007, ironically on my birthday. I have worked with governments, factories, military-adjacent systems, and private industry. I have seen how decisions made far from communities quietly reshape jobs, materials, and power at the local level.
Most of my life was spent in Los Angeles. I recently moved to Dallas, where the political and cultural polarization is impossible to ignore. The fights feel louder. The solutions feel thinner.
I am a father of six. I am married to an incredible Salvadoran woman. I am politically independent, not because I avoid responsibility, but because I do not believe any single ideology owns the truth.
What I am building is not a movement in the emotional sense. It is an economic one.
Our society talks about systems as if they are beliefs. They are not. Systems are built on inputs. Commodities. Materials. Energy. Logistics. Whoever controls those controls everything downstream.
That insight sits at the center of everything I do.
Through these platforms, I am working on one integrated effort:
Now We Evolve

The Bioeconomy Foundation
https://thebioeconomyfoundation.org
American Fiber Group

Together, they focus on one question most debates avoid.
What happens if we change the materials the economy depends on?
Hemp and bamboo are not symbols. They are commodities. They grow locally. They scale horizontally. They support regional processing. They anchor manufacturing close to communities. They change money flow, job creation, and who holds power.
This work is not anti-capitalist or pro-corporate. It is pro-reality.
If you want different outcomes, you do not argue harder. You replace the inputs.
That is what I am here to discuss.
Not outrage. Not slogans.
Industrial math, material systems, and practical paths forward.
If that resonates, you are in the right place.
