Hemp: a crop with great potential, but one that requires careful management
Register

Grown without inputs and with limited fertilization, hemp responds particularly well to the mastery of basic production techniques. The expansion of market opportunities (in the construction, automotive, textile, and food sectors) makes hemp a crop with significant growth potential. In terms of acreage, France is currently the world’s second-largest producer.

 

On the agenda:

  • Overview of the hemp industry: History, key players, and industry structure
  • Hemp market opportunities: Main sectors of use (textiles, construction, food, etc.)
  • Physiology of hemp: Understanding the key biological factors for optimized cultivation, adaptability to climate change
  • Specifics of hemp cultivation: Adaptation to soils, variety selection, water and nutrient requirements
  • Harvesting techniques: Methods and equipment for efficient hemp harvesting
  • Identification of major plant health issues: Damage observed on crops and prevention strategies

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the structure of the hemp industry and its various stages of processing
  • Analyze the agronomic, economic, and environmental challenges associated with hemp cultivation
  • Identify and recommend key cultivation techniques for successful hemp cultivation based on different market opportunities

Classroom lectures: clear and concise presentations on the hemp industry, its challenges, cultivation techniques, and market opportunities.

Discussions and Q&A sessions: time for interaction between participants and the instructor to share experiences, ask questions, and explore key points in greater depth.

Field visits: hands-on experience to observe cultivation techniques, varieties, stages of development, and potential plant health issues.

Interactive approach: the trainer, Louis Marie ALLARD, a hemp expert, leads the session in a dynamic manner, drawing on feedback and practical case studies.

Assessment: End-of-session quiz, Q&A, individual satisfaction survey, self-assessment.

Visual aids: illustrated presentations (diagrams, photos, charts) to help participants understand technical and economic concepts.

Educational materials: distribution of summary materials (technical data sheets, guides, memos) to allow participants to keep a written record of key information.

Knowledge assessment: quizzes or Q&A sessions to evaluate participants’ understanding and reinforce key points.

Field visits: direct observation of crops, soils, varieties, and farming practices for a hands-on experience.

End-of-session quiz, Q&A session, individual satisfaction survey, self-assessment
