The Motorcycle's Fibrous Fenders
Catching my eye at the recent Celebration of Modern Agriculture on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was a sleek electric motorcycle on display with white fenders. The motorcycle was the new S2 Mulholland model from LiveWire. This bike is significant because it represents a historic breakthrough for the fledgling domestic hemp industry. That's because its front and rear fenders are made with a composite material that contains fiber from the stalks of American-grown hemp plants.
Establishing Hemp's Foundation
Hemp-based building materials were among the select group of housing innovations on display for policymakers and the public in mid-June 2023 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Amazing Untapped Potential
At the Agriculture Innovation Mission (AIM) for Climate Summit in early May 2023 in Washington, D.C., the National Hemp Association showcased the tremendous promise of the hemp plant.
Eyes on Flavonoids
Scientists are taking a greater interest in studying the flavonoids in the cannabis plant to exploit them for human health, said a biochemist at a recent cannabis conference.
Come Grow With Us
As the domestic hemp industry slowly moves from infancy toward adulthood, one fledgling organization is establishing a foothold to ensure that hemp growers prosper in coming years. The National Hemp Growers Cooperative began in 2019 with the goal of building wealth for its members, said Nick Walters, the co-op's managing partner. In the process, the organization will help to strengthen the nascent industrial hemp sector and promote sound environmental stewardship.
