Title: Industrial hemp and its potential for New Zealand
Author: Merfield, C. N.
Date: Nov-1999
Publisher: Lincoln University. Faculty of Commerce. Kellogg Rural Leaders Programme.
Series/Report no.: Kellogg Rural Leaders Programme report
Item Type: Monograph
Abstract: This report is aimed at farmers, processors and the sections of government involved in the reintroduction of industrial hemp. It aims to provide, assuming no prior knowledge, background information on hemp and the issues surrounding it. It analyses the current political and legal situation; and estimates the potential economic, social and environmental costs and benefits for New Zealand, and makes recommendations based on that analysis. There are detailed briefings on the history, biology, agronomy, and end products of industrial hemp. These provide important technical information and support the analysis and recommendations of the report. These can be left unread if the reader’s main focus is policy issues.
Description: The New Zealand Kellogg Rural Leaders Programme develops emerging agribusiness leaders to help shape the future of New Zealand agribusiness and rural affairs. Lincoln University has been involved with this leaders programme since 1979 when it was launched with a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, USA.
