“A natural biorefinery” made by Multihemp project financed by European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration. In the frame of multi-hemp, the partners will use cutting-edge genomic approaches to achieve rapid targeted improvements in hemp productivity and raw material quality for end-user requirements, whilst also advancing scientific understanding of gene-to-trait relationships in this crop.

This work will be combined with innovations in agronomy, harvesting and processing methods to generate sustainable products from improved varieties.
