About the Event
Hemp is a versatile crop that priduces high-value fibre, food and oil. Find out how it can be integrated into a regenerative agricultural system at the first GREAT seminar, given by an agronomist from Hempen, based at the Hardwick Estate, Oxon.
Joe McGahan is the visionary founder of the farm-to-fork hemp and CBD co-operative, Hempen.
Before working in hemp agronomy around the UK and internationally, Joe worked at Kew Gardens and Tolhurst Organics. Hempen supports growers to diversify into hemp production with a specialist focus on organic and regenerative agriculture.
In this talk Joe will discuss the myriad ecological and business benefits of growing hemp as well as the unique practical challenges of growing 'the miracle crop'. Bring your hemp questions on soil building, biodiverstity, licensing and how it will fit into your rotation.
The event will be preceded for a tour of Stroud Brewery - learn about their brewing…
