Summary
A research institute in cooperation with three farms studied the suitability of various local hemp plants for organic farming, including the unique Latvian genetic resource conservation varieties 'Adzelvieši' and 'Pūriņi'. The project then developed and tested cultivation and processing technologies that would maximise seed quality and yield.
Results
