Hemp Products, Production Systems, and Distribution
HEMP301
Description
Having been cultivated for over 10,000 years, cannabis is one of the oldest agricultural crops in history. These hardy plants were grown by early humans for rope, seed, oil, fabric and medicine. Plants were selectively bred for industrial purposes, and have evolved into the type of cannabis we now know as hemp. Students will study the different products created from hemp, the technical requirements for oil extraction and processing, the distribution challenges and potential opportunities that exist in the industry. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the costs, challenges, and benefits of selected products, their existing market niches, and evaluating their social sustainability. Students will create marketing plans that demonstrate an understanding of the science, technical, and business needs for a selected hemp-based product.
