Hemp4Circularity

🌿 Empowering the next generation in sustainable agriculture 🌱 We had the privilege of sharing insights on hemp cultivation and the Hemp4Circularity project with the bright minds of Ghent University’s master program in bioscience engineering technology (Agriculture) 👩🎓 It’s inspiring to show these students the potential of hemp within a more circular and sustainable agricultural sector. In just a few months, these students will be stepping into the professional world. #Hemp4Circularity #SustainableFuture #HempEducation #hemp Interreg North-West Europe (NWE)
