WHAT THE HEMP PROJECT DOES

The Purdue Hemp Team is composed of faculty, Extension educators, and farm professionals that provide research-based information to produce hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in the 21st century. Our goal is to share resources and information with current and prospective hemp growers. We seek to use our team’s years of experience to aid in the continual development of a viable hemp industry in Indiana and throughout the Midwest.
