Hemp Hemp Research Dollars Flowing in 2022
By Jean Lotus
The year 2022 is shaping up to see a significant boost in research dollars for hemp in the United States, in both public and private spheres. A flurry of new research projects has been announced in the first part of 2022 with grant amounts that are in the millions versus tens of thousands of dollars.
Hemp’s potential as a new U.S. commodity crop has been spurred on by increased interest in carbon sequestration, in regenerative agriculture and by consumer demand for hemp products.
Investors, academic departments and agencies are stepping up research to help de-risk the crop in amounts that are in some cases 10X the research budgets of previous years.
