A Safer Sustainable Cultivating (Room 208)

In many ways, innovation has stagnated in mainstream agriculture. BigAg farm methods have remained unchanged for the past 50 years. In addition, pathogen testing still relies on petri dishes - a century old method. As climates change, ingenuity is required to produce more crops on less land in a more sustainable way. The cannabis industry offers forward-thinking solutions that may just point the way forward in modern agriculture. In this presentation, we’ll bring together scientists and farmers developing and utilizing the latest agricultural advances in cannabis that could lead to a new era of farming. We’ll talk about breeding techniques that result in crops that respect the land and preserve water. We’ll look at technologies that support regenerative agriculture and environmental stewardship. And we’ll discuss how to scale farming in a way that is not only more sustainable, but safer, as well.
