THE STATE OF HEMP IN EUROPE
12.12.2019 @ 12:30 - 16:00

Hemp, or industrial hemp, is a strain of the Cannabis sativa plant grown specifically for the industrial uses of its derived products, which include paper, ropes, textiles, clothing, cosmetics, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed.
Hemp can be used also for water and soil purification and weed control. As the European hemp sector is undergoing substantial transformations, the event will explore the challenges and opportunities ahead for the new parliamentary legislature.
