Ziese Farms & Rodale Institute Launch Hemp Food Research

Ziese Farms granted Rodale Institute a license to the hemp/cannabis patents for use in research during the projects. Additionally, Panacea Plant Sciences, a cannabis biotech company, has licensed a patent for hemp cultivation to Rodale Institute and Ziese Farms for the research project.

“Ziese Farms is the pioneer in hemp leaf and food cultivation and regulatory work with the FDA,” Ziese Farms founder David Heldreth said. “It feels natural to work with a group like the Rodale Institute. Organic farming is part of how we protect the environment and provide for future generations.”

The study by Rodale Institute and Ziese Farms will produce publicly available data to support the farmers of the world, while also generating proprietary data for Ziese Farms. The data is expected to be published in 2022-3.
