Industrial Hemp Research Program

The Industrial Hemp Research Program is a government-supported initiative that studies the cultivation and uses of hemp, a versatile plant related to cannabis but with very low THC levels. The program aims to explore hemp's potential for commercial applications like textiles, foods, health products, and construction materials. It also assesses legal, agricultural, and economic factors to promote responsible growth of the hemp industry. By providing research, guidance, and support, the program helps farmers, businesses, and policymakers understand how to safely and effectively incorporate hemp into the economy.
