ICR Hemp Farmers Association (IHFA)

The ICR Hemp Farmers Association (IHFA) was founded in August 2019 by an innovative collaboration with the Institute of Cannabis Research located at the Colorado State University-Pueblo and farmers both locally and nationally.

The initiative is intended to provide an open platform that offers an opportunity for stakeholders to share knowledge and updates in regard to best hemp cultivation practices such as pest/weed management and harvest and extraction strategies. Additionally, the collaborative group provides unique opportunities for new hemp growers and industry stakeholders to seek research and entrepreneurial partnerships. The IHFA is comprised of hemp research scientists, experienced hemp farmers, and entrepreneurs.

The ICR is launching a new ‘Cannabis Cultivation Webinar Series’, co-sponsored by Volcani Center, Israel

The Institute of Cannabis Research (ICR) is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Nirit Bernstein as co-chair of the ICR Hemp Farmers Association (IHFA).

With this innovative partnership, the ICR is launching a monthly ICR Cannabis Cultivation Webinar series, beginning in February 16, 2022.
