About the Event
The Global Hemp Innovation Center (GHIC) at Oregon State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are co-hosting an industry-focused workshop to help craft the national hemp research blueprint.

This workshop will be used to identify the science, research, and tools that industry needs to solve challenges and help accelerate the establishment of hemp as a modern United States commodity. The workshop will focus on all aspects of hemp value chains, from production to products manufactured for grain, fiber, and chemical market classes of hemp.
 
Leading industry and other experts will present their ideas for what is needed to help establish a sustainable, competitive hemp industry.
