FFAR’s Research Mission & How Hemp Fits In

Hemp has the potential to become a widely used crop in a variety of industries, including food, health and personal care products; consumer textiles; and industrial applications. Lancaster Farming’s Industrial Hemp Podcast, hosted and produced by Eric Holcomb, invites farmers and experts to discuss industrial hemp.

FFAR Executive Director Dr. Saharah Moon Chapotin joined Eric to discuss the research needed by the hemp industry and how FFAR’s Hemp Research Consortium is filling those gaps.
